Public bug reported:

When I connect via a Sprint USB Novatel Ovation U727 Wireless Card (for
a CMDA mobile broadband connection), I experience the following:

A) When I log in with the device plugged in, the computer usually does
not detect the device (it's lit but it does not show up in any file
manager)

B) Then I disconnect it, it then detects it.

(The last two problems have been occurring intermittently the past few
Ubuntu releases, sometimes the system would detect the device and
sometimes not, but with 11.10 it's now an everytime occurrence. This may
be kernel-related, and I should mention now that I'm running a proposed
kernel, 3.0.0-15-pae, as a fix because I suffered from a bug with
ecryptfs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/813146

C) When I then connect the network-manager applet on gnome-panel,
instead of changing from "not connected" to "connected" display, simply
disappears. Right-clicking on the panel shows that network-manager is
running properly.

I realize that A + B are probably the result of different bugs from C),
and the latter is the one which is new. If you want me to file a kernel
bug report for the proposed kernel not detecting the USB mobile
broadband device, I shall.
