Using Karmic Kola Alpha 4 (fully updated as of 18 Aug 2009) I am also experiencing this issue with a Vodafone (Huawei E172 & Huawei E220) contract.
No problems experienced in setting up the connection using the Mobile Broadband wizard. Connection attempted and both green led's light up - Blue swoosh circles indefinitely and no signal steps appear. I believe that the process is stuck trying to obtain an IP address. -- Can't establish a connection using a Huawei E176 UMTS modem in Karmic Koala https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414519 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
