Having the similar issue with Ericsson H5321gw in Toshiba Z830. SIM registers to network, but than fails to connect most of the tries(like 1success to 30 failures). I tried the solution in 2), after reboot I connected from the first try, but after that I have not be able to get connection. I see the driver used in my case is cdc_acm - cna this be the reason?

This caused a regression for users wanting to use NCM." This could be solved in different ways: 1) Remove "cdc_mbim.ko" from packages like linux-image-extra-3.8.0-XX- YY. Easy, but makes it harder for people to experiment with MBIM and add userspace support 2) Set the kernel parameter "prefer_mbim" to false for "cdc_ncm" module. This could be done by adding a file "/etc/modprobe.d/avoid- mbim.conf" with content: options cdc_ncm prefer_mbim=N This will allow people wanting to test MBIM easy access by removing or editing the file. Then the question is if this file should stay in modemmanager package or maybe in the kernel package? The required code for this option to exist seems to be in Ubuntu Raring packages in commit 04188f3010f64ddf2c75c3f4953eee9bdb4f5cc1. 3) Debian has solved it by patching the kernel to reverse the default to be not to use MBIM: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/dbmrrKybrWTJ0XZGsB3B http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2013/03/msg00611.html See also bug #1102343.
