I have the Sierra Wireless Aircard 875. I was able to update the firmware of the card through VirtualBox. However that did not help me. I agree that as this worked flawlessly in 8.10, the reason why it doesn't work in 9.04 should be looked into.
This is what I see in /var/log/syslog when I plug it in: usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 usb 6-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial USB Serial support registered for generic usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic usbserial: USB Serial Driver core USB Serial support registered for Sierra USB modem sierra 6-1:1.0: Sierra USB modem converter detected usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0 usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB1 usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB2 usbcore: registered new interface driver sierra sierra: v.1.3.2:USB Driver for Sierra Wireless USB modems (ttyUSB2): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_1199_6820_noserial_if0_serial_usb_0, iface: (null)): iface not found (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev: hal:GSM) (ttyUSB0): ignoring due to lack of probed mobile broadband capabilties (ttyUSB1): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties -- Sierra Wireless AirCard USBConnect 881U does not work in Jaunty 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
