Title:
network-manager does not connect Mobile-Broadband, but sakis3g and
wvdial can connect
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Problem:
On my system Network-Manager (version 0.8) cannot establish connection with my Mobile-Broadband modem.
sakis3g (version 0.2.0e; http://www.sakis3g.org/)and wvdial are able to do it.
Windows version of mwconn (ixconn; version 0.4; http://www.mwconn.com) connects without problems.
I have :
* uname -a
Linux martin-laptop 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 21:54:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
with latest updates.
* GSM-Modem: Huawei E156G (now unlocked, in the past Three Austria)
* SIM Card from Yess (www.yess.at)
In the past I used the modem with a three sim card without problems. The new sim card was working
with the delivered modem (Huawei E170) after I have deleted all Mobile Broadband connections and
created a new one.
I dont know what modem-manager and network-manager are doing in background, but
I have expected that any sim card is working with an unlocked supported modem.
Below my gathered information. Maybe somebody finds something.

After reboot with connected modem:
Try to connect with network manager (Click on entry below Mobile
Broadband)

sakis3g connnects without problems.
The first time I had to set default gateway:
sudo route add default gw 10.64.64.64
and disable in firefox "offline mode based on networkmanager":
about:config
toolkit.networkmanager.disable
ixconn works under windows XP, but with ubunutu I get:
Modem type: Huawei
Modem not responding.
End.
Observation:
After playing around with network-manager, ixconn, ... wvdial is not working:
