NetworkManager doesn't detect my broadband device
Solution 1
I had the same problem on 12.04 and the solution was to boot the machine with the dongle already inserted.
Ensure that the modemmanager
package is installed.
Solution 2
open Synaptic Package Manager Type "Smartlink" into the search field in the Synaptic Package Manager and install all of smarlink package. http://www.ehow.com/how_5435902_install-modem-drivers-ubuntu.html#ixzz2BcaT8Ean it works with me very well

I have a Huawei K3765 (USB ID 12D1:1520) and I'm trying to use it with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.
I have usb-modeswitch installed, so when I plug the device I can see that it gets switched from storage-mode to modem-mode. My problem is that when I try to create a broadband mobile connection for it, NetworkManager doesn't detect the modem... I tried this on two different laptops.
/var/log/daemon.log
doesn't show anything of interest, AFAIKT... What could I try? -
david6 about 11 yearsBut this 'solution' is for 12.04 LTS, not 10.04 LTS.

Joril about 11 yearsYes, but I'm not using 10.04 anymore

david6 about 11 yearsSo problem does not exist for 12.04, or this solved issue for 10.04?
