I've been using my E220 with wvdial since the upgrade to Oneiric, attached is the configuration I use (except the PIN). I tried to reproduce the "try to connect -> reset -> replug -> works with network- manager" workaround with limited success (worked sometimes, but not reliably).
I have some additional observations: 1. After plugging in the modem, I need to wait until usb_modeswitch is done before starting wvdial or it won't work. Network-manager recognizes the modem before the switch is complete and asks for the PIN, if I provide it the device won't work. 2. wvdial does not work after a failed network-manager connection attempt, no matter if with or without reset. I have to replug the device. 3. Network-manager does not recognize the modem after reset without replugging, even though the kernel log shows the disconnect/connect events. ** Attachment added: "working wvdial config file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/868034/+attachment/2625169/+files/wvdial.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/868034/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
