Comment 143 for bug 446146

this is really an embarrassing bug, at least because working usb 3g -data modems are a basic requirement for the new distro for netbooks (ubuntu nbr) -- i switched to ubuntu about three years ago and keep campaigning for it, but with this issue it's really hard to argue.

...on the other hand by all critisicm: we should not forget that we get all this great ubuntu distro for free. for me, I'll turn a blind eye on that on hope for a really quick fix.
