I can confirm that the firmware update resolved the issue for me. I got the Vodafone branded updater from http://www.vodacom.co.za/services/vodacom_broadband/downloads.jsp
I found that I had to stop the dashboard and its status bar applet before the updater was able to detect my device. Aside from that it was just a task of reading the instructions and clicking 'Next' a few times. -- Huawei E220 modem unable to connect under Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
