Problem also occurs with Huawei USB 3G dongle (e169, reported by lsusb as E620)

Worked normally in Jaunty, Karmic and beta 2 of Lucid Lynx (upgraded from Karmic) until some point after lucid lynx beta 3, can't pinpoint exact date of break.

Workaround is to boot with dongle in place.

Small variation from overall bug:
1. other USB devices (storage, mouse) work when hotplugged
2. Huawei's 'pseudo CD-Rom' aspect of the dongle works too when hotplugged - it's only the modem part that requires presence at startup.

If I can test anything that might fix or assist in troubleshooting, would be happy to do so.

all the best
