Public bug reported:
Hi,
I recently upgraded my OS from Kubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 and now my ZTE 4g
usb stick is not working. ZTE 4g dongle used to work smoothly in 13.10
Kubuntu. After upgrading my OS to 14.04, these are the logs I see

After a lot of googling, I found this post[1]. I gave my wvdial.conf for my
provider (Airtel, india) and used wvdial to connect now. It is now connecting
using wvdial.
[CODE]
nibin@nibin-ofxlaptop:~$ sudo cat /etc/wvdial.conf
[sudo] password for nibin:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
ISDN = 0
Baud = 57600
Ask Password = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Stupid Mode = 1
Compuserve = 0
Idle Seconds = 0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","airtelgprs.com"
Phone = *99#
Password = internet
Username = o2
Auto DNS = 0
[/CODE]
Eventhough it is now connecting using wvdial, I would like to use the
NetworkManager support from Kubuntu for the same. Is this a
NetworkManager problem or USB_Modeswitch problem or ModemManager
problem?
let me know if any additional details are required.
