Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Several mobile broadband devices are dependent on usb-modeswitch, but that
package is NOT installed by default!
It is not easy for non-expert users to correct the problem by installing the
package that specifically addresses this issue. This should be done
automatically!
There are several related bugs, such as #259028. But apparently none of them
describes the need for a dependency. The network-manager should be dependent on
the usb-modeswitch since it is strictly necessary for several modern mobile
broadband USB devices.
For instance mobile broadband modem Huawei E1550 works only after
installation of usb-modeswitch.
** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
