[Sleepy John <868034@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As one of the mere users who rely on a Huawei E220 for my internet
access,  and as one who doesn't fully undertand what's going on with
getting this bug fixed,  I'm finding it frustrating to see the status
keeps changing and no apparent progress being made towards correcting
it.     Maybe I misunderstand,  but how can the importance of this bug
suddenly be changed to low without consulting all the Huawei users who
have subscribed to this bug and have confirmed the difficulties they are
having as a result of it.    In simple terms our modems were working
just fine in Natty and earlier versions,  but as soon as we ugraded to
Ocelot they have ceased to work unless we go through awkward lengthy and
unreliable workarounds to log-in.      I  for one am becoming weary of
this situation,  especially when I see the priority for getting it fixed
appears to have been downgraded apparently without regard for us the
Huawei users.

I would like to exhort any other Huawei users on here who are
experiencing similar difficulities to voice their opinion about the
priority recently being downgraded to low again.
