Public bug reported:
I am trying to use a USB modem (dongle) Samsung SGH-Z810. (It is a GSM
device serving to connect to a 3G mobile broadband network in my case).
How can I reproduce the bug:
1.) I start the computer (a HP ZBook 15 notebook).
2.) Once the system (64-bit ubuntu) is running and I am logged in I wait
for say 10 seconds and then insert the modem into a USB port. Nothing
happens. NetworkManager does not list this networking option even after
another period of waiting.
3.) I unplug the modem and after a while I insert it again. FInally I
can see the networking option listed in the NetworkManager menu and I
can connect.
Even this has to be done manually although I asked for automatic
connection in the NetworkManager settings.
Other way to start the computer is to do it with the modem inserted in a
USB port. If I do it the problem is the same: I have to unplug the
dongle and reinsert it before I can start networking.
The computer seemingly randomly chooses to display or not to display the
device folder in a File Manager item.
I experience similar issues also with a different USB modem: HUAWEI
E3251. The difference is that this one at least connects automatically.
It is formally seen as an ethernet device though.
