Your Huawei E173s-1 modem isn't listed upstream https://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/MobileBroadband
as supported. If you want NetworkManager to support this modem it's best to file a report upstream. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=NetworkManager It nice to hear that you can configure this modem using Sakis3G. http://www.sakis3g.org/ However, I don't see a package for this in either Debian or Ubuntu, so that software isn't supported. My guess is that there is a problem with routing. ** Summary changed: - Network manager does not fully recognize Broadband internet through sakis3G + Networking not fully functional after connecting to broadband internet using the sakis3G utility ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058547 Title: Networking not fully functional after connecting to broadband internet using the sakis3G utility Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: My Broadband usb Modem "Huawei E173s-1" which worked under Precise 12.04, does not want to connect to internet in 12.10 (bug already reported). Though, I succeeded in connecting to the internet using the binary: sakis3g: ---------------------------------- sudo sakis3g --interactive --------------------------------- And follow GUI instructions. Untill now all applications recognize this internet connection except EMPATHY & Software Center & Gwibber. (Probably others) When I try to use Software Center, it tells there is no Internet connection and I am not able to install software from it. Same thing for Empathy, it does not connect. Indicators like indicator-weather or indictaor-dropbox connects just fine. -- I am not sure this is related to network-manager ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: network-manager 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-15.23-generic 3.5.4 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.5.2-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Sep 29 10:57:50 2012 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Alpha amd64 (20120905.2) IpRoute: default via 10.64.64.64 dev ppp0 10.64.64.64 dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src 41.214.215.193 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=false WimaxEnabled=true ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH ttyUSB2 gsm disconnected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/6 eth0 802-3-ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 wlan0 802-11-wireless disconnected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE NET-ENABLED WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN running 0.9.6.0 disconnected enabled enabled enabled enabled disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1058547/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
