Public bug reported:

Hi,

With my stock ubuntu 10.10 I'm having problems to connect to the
internet with my wind 3g key.

Basically, what happens is that sometimes I can connect and sometimes
fails. When it fails, I have to unplug the card and replug it a couple
of times, until it works.

Taking a look a the logs, I figured out the issue and put in place a
workaround. What I have found is that:

- when the connection works, ttyUSB4 is used.
- when the connection doesn't work, ttyUSB3 is used.

Based on this, I've applied the following udev rule which make the
connection always work:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/wind-key-avoid-wrong-ttyusb.rules 
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0123]",ACTION=="add",SYSFS{idVendor}=="1bbb",SYSFS{idProduct}=="0017",RUN+="/bin/sleep
 2"


However, it is better to fix this in a proper way, since this workaround has 
some drawbacks (the unlock code wizard seems to fail...)


Thanks in advance.
