Comment 8 for bug 450997

As the other bug is listed as incomplete, I'll re-post my comment here too:

I have a cleaner solution working under lucid and the latest kernel (2.3.32-19) that has the modem recognised and connect via the Network Manager applet.

I need to install ozerocdoff and hsolink (but not the one from lucid) and add the two entries to udev.rules, all from this post:

Wouldn't this suggest that udev is at fault as it is not recognising the device without the additional lines being added?

Also for some reason beyond me, the version of hsolink in lucid (1.0.118-3) doesn't seem to work and I have to use the deb from the link above (1.0.118-1). Not sure why, sorry!
