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

 

Try this:

sudo modprobe -r option; sudo modprobe -r usb_wwan; sudo modprobe -r
usbserial; sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003

It worked for me some time ago.
I don't remember if I should plug the stick before, type the command, unplug and plug it again, or not.

It also worked to append the modprobe commands to the   /etc/rc.local
file

Good luck

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
