Public bug reported:
System information
===============
Distribution: 12.04 Alpha
Kernel: 3.2.0-2-generic #5-Ubuntu SMP
Status: Vanilla installation
Package: 0.9.1.90 (via NetworManager --version)
Problem Description
================
The Huawei USB Broadband dongle which works perfectly in 10.10 fails to work in
12.04 Alpha.
Although the problem was reported under bug #840082 and resolved via a
0.9.0-ubuntu3, it creeps back into 12.04 Alpha.
The system is able to detect the dongle, it reports logging into home network
However, trying to establish internet connection will result in failed
connection.
Work around
==========
* this was accidentally found while trying to study the problem.
1. Find the pid of NetworkManager (ps -aef | grep -i networkmanager)
2. kill -9 <PID>; NetworkManager --no-daemon
3. try to connect to internet, for my case it works. No guarantee though.
Next Step
========
will be doing a complete upgrade of all packages (apt-get upgrade -y) and test
it again.
