Public bug reported:
I installed a fresh copy of Kubuntu 8.10 AMD64 (it will also happen on
Ubuntu 8.10; I tried). Note that no network was available, so no
updates were retrieved. My Option Globetrotter Ultra Wireless Broadband
card worked almost out of the box. I had to blacklist the Option driver
so that the HSO driver would be used, and I installed the rezero utility
to get rid of the fake storage device it provided. Plugging in the card
gave me /dev/ttyHS0 and /dev/ttyHS1.
KNetworkManager detected the card and allowed me to create a GSM
connection. I entered config information and was up and running. Yay!
Once network was up, I got all available updates (12/10/2008). I
rebooted. Network Manager now does not show me my ttyHS0 connection. I
checked and /dev/ttyHS0 and /dev/ttyHS1 exist. The updates that caused
this are not new, as the first occurence of this started a week or two
prior to this report.
I had the same problem with Ubuntu, so it's probably not the GUI, but
some lower-level problem.
Thanks for your attention!
