I have a very similar experience with an HTC Hero sharing its network connection over a USB connection on an Acer Aspire D150 netbook. Am running 9.10 stable, and the phone is on the t-mobile network in the UK (badged here as the T-Mobile G2, but it is an HTC Hero).
I've tried this several ways and I'm certain of the behaviour. If I connect the phone, choose the share network option then the network manager attempts to connect. It reports that the connection is successful, but there is no routing that I can confirm. Ping of any non- local IP fails (even of the default gateway reported by nm). Also all the connections fail. I get the same behaviour if I attach the phone at boot time before the machine is started. However, if I connect it all up, wait until it reports that it has connected and then re-start the machine without unplugging anything it works. -- connecting through mobile broadband https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490943 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
