in trying to pin point the 'offending' upgrade package, a clean install (Alpha 3) was performed to which the broadband Huawei modem connected flawlessly.
after checking for updates, a partial upgrade was recommended and was performed. again, after completing the Partial Upgrade, the modem is recognised, and is able to dial, but will not connect. apt history log is attached. ** Attachment added: "apt history log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+bug/840082/+attachment/2353169/+files/history.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-nettool in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/840082 Title: Huawei broadband modem fails to connect after the most recent Ocelot update (Sep. 3.2011) Status in “gnome-nettool” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Huawei broadband modem fails to connect to Tigo, Honduras, after the most recent Ocelot update (Sep. 3.2011). 3.0.0.9 Kernel. Ocelot finds and recognises the modem, and dials, but it just fails to connect to the Internet service. I'm back in Natty now and I'm connecting fine. Also, it was connecting without issue (in Ocelot) 10 minutes ago before the upgrade. The update log is attached. Any thoughts?
