Public bug reported: I have a D-Link DWM-156 HSPA Modem, that I bought just a few days ago. The modem has drivers in its internal storage. There are Debian Software Packages for both i386 and amd64, so obviously I installed the amd64.deb using Software Center: 3g_modem_connect_D300_amd64.deb . Then manually, I did: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001 product=0x7d01". I have confirmed that the device switched to usbserial mode from usb-storage mode. As the product ID was a706 before.
But here is the thing, the device is detected and I get the Mobile Broadband options in the Network Menu ONLY when a SIM Card is NOT present in the modem. If a SIM Card is present, the Modem switches to usbserial mode but after that, there is no change in the network menu. I can't use my modem in Ubuntu at all, due to this. I have uninstalled the package usb-modeswitch, but there is no change in behavior. The modem is detected when there is no SIM Card present and the network menu shows Mobile Broadband options. But with a SIM Card, the network menu does not show Mobile Broadband. And my laptop is the Dell XPS L502X and is almost 1.5 years old. I always plug my modem into the USB 2.0 port. Everything else works prefectly (Nvidia with Bumblebee of course) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: linux-image-3.8.0-25-generic 3.8.0-25.37 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-25.37-generic 3.8.13 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-25-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: aneesh 2982 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: country DE: (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 26), DFS Date: Sun Jun 16 18:05:21 2013 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=07092c11-b0c7-4c0c-8c59-246ea59620d9 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-01-22 (145 days ago) InstallationMedia: This MachineType: Dell Inc.
