Comment 115 for bug 868034

I have also installed the workaround Mark describes in post #110. In my case modemmanager_0.4+git.20110124t203624.00b6cce-2ubuntu1_i386.deb

I find now that if my Huawei is plugged in at bootup, it will connect correctly first time when I request it, but if I don't make the USB connection until after bootup, it will not connect unless I go through a sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 1003 -R followed by an unplug-replug routine like I had to do all the time with mm 0.5.

So this is a vast improvement that will make life much easier than it was with mm 0.5, but it still leaves a shortcoming (at least in my case) compared to Maverick and Natty that either a system boot or a usb_modeswitch and unplug-replug is necessary before the Huawei will connect.

Anyway, let me also add my grateful thanks to Aleksander and to Mark for this solution.
