Comment 6 for bug 378975

A hint to the programmer(s):
There is a possibility that Ubuntu, when installing and preserving /home in a separate partition, doesn't write the necessary files for recognizing an already plugged-in modem. I have installed Xubuntu twice - once in a separate partition in a dual boot configuration, and once using the entire HD (sacrificing my old /Home). Both times it automatically connects the modem without problems. Now I run an installation on the entire disk. However, for some reason, the modem wizard pops up at every boot now. (I have to find a way of getting rid of it. :( )
