Bug Description
Hi, connecting 4G-modem Huawei E398 to the Internet in Lubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) as well as in Lubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) prevents the modem from working in Windows which will certainly affect the hardware in some way. Cannot connect to the Internet and Windows has a problem: "The device has been disconnected or is unavailable." I had to unplug the modem, replug the modem and it connected to the Internet in Windows; after that redialing works.

Well, this is probably a bug in the windows driver. I guess Ubuntu leave the modem in a state that the windows driver does not expect. Probably either that it is switched from driver CD mode or that it is powered down, or that it is initialized.
