[Bug 982283] Re: Modem is not detected (ever, or for several minutes); computer sometimes freezes; modem-manager sometimes crashes -- Huawei E160

 

With Ubuntu 15.04 it reappeared.

The stick is practically useless.

Reason I found is that the stick registers as USB storage as well and
then is not recognized as modem.

Title:
  Modem is not detected (ever, or for several minutes); computer
  sometimes freezes; modem-manager sometimes crashes -- Huawei E160

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Huawei e160 modem isn't consistently detected. It's a hit and miss affair. Sometimes requires several attempts of plugging in and out.
  This modem also has a MicroSD card slot and this is probably what is causing the issue. However, no additional drive is reported or mounted automatically.
  It just takes 2-5 minutes for the modem to be detected. Following which running it is usually hassle free. 

  Using ubuntu 12.04
