Comment 61 for bug 449394

The trick in comment #50 seems to have solved the problems with my E220.
I didnt upgrade firmware, but maybe I have the latest one already, dont know.
It not connects perfectly every time (so far).
It is still showing up as a usb drive though.
This is most unfortunate, I just converted my sister to linux and she has the same modem, I fear she will convert into a mac user..
Its been a very long time since the Karmic release, Im wondering why this didnt get fixed early on?
