[Bug 1205104] Re: 12d1:1446 Huawei E173 only detected as mass storage

 

So, I tested a lot of mainline kernels yesterday, but with no luck. I
started from the first mainline kernel tagged with saucy (3.8)

So today I installed 12.04, 13.04 and 13.10 on an USB stick and tested
the live version of Ubuntu. No surprise the UMTS stick works great with
12.04 and 13.04, but don't work with 13.10

So I reinstalled 13.10 with the latest daily image (3.10.0-6-generic) again and started testing. The UMTS stick don't work with the latest kernel, so I went to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux and installed the following kernels:
-> 3.8.0-19-generic
-> 3.9.0-0-generic
-> 3.10.0-0-generic
But none of them worked :-(

So could it be that the problem is maybe the network-manager? The
version in saucy is 0.9.8.0-6. The version in 13.04 is 0.9.8.0-0

I could send an USB stick Huawai E173 (12d1:1446) to someone who is
willing to look into this problem. Or please tell me what I can do now
to debugg this problem
