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?

    But this 'solution' is for 12.04 LTS, not 10.04 LTS.

    Yes, but I'm not using 10.04 anymore

    So problem does not exist for 12.04, or this solved issue for 10.04?

    The problem does exist for 12.04, but I cannot test this on 10.04 anymore
