As far as I can recall this package was not installed by default in any of the previous lubuntu releases either? I had the same problem with the package not being available, pretty bad if you just installed Lubuntu on some new machine before you left home and are now trying to get online with the USB 3G Modem you have with you.
I would also opt to include this package by default, but this is probably even an Ubuntu, not just an Lubuntu problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979304 Title: usb-modeswitch in lubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/979304/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
