Comment 210 for bug 868034

I would like to second Pablo's request for step by step instructions.

I know there are some workarounds that will allow me to log-in with Oneiric and my E220 so I'm not totally cut off from the internet, but I am still confused about this bug supposedly now being "fixed", and yet I still have to use these workarounds. If updates incorporating the fix have already been issued, then why aren't I seeing the benefit of them?

I would like to know if the updates that have been issued will automatically replace my deliberately reverted modem manager with a latest fixed default version, or if I should be trying to do that manually?

My aim is to have a standard fully updated Oneiric that works with an E220 without having to adopt workaround procedures. Is that a realistic aim, or am I expecting too much?

Regarding Mathieu's #201 comment about the firmware maybe not being recent enough, isn't this ignoring the point that our E220s were all working perfectly satisfactorily in Maverick and Natty, and it was only when Oneiric came along that all this trouble started?

If I thought that an upgrade to Precise would make my E220 log-in any easier, I would upgrade and forget about trying to fix Oneiric, but is anyone seeing evidence that Precise works better?
