Ok, 2.16.31-16 breaking Huawei's branded connection utilities is a different bug. But this one isn't fixed! At least for some of our Huawei usb keys! For my E1692, which worked perfectly in 2.6.28, it still isn't fixed - read the comments I've left before, I can't use it "as is" with karmic, I need to install Huawei's tool and UDEV scripts, and disable the corresponding line for modem-modeswic in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modemswitch
It was working before, and it still isn't - even if it is fixed now for those Huawey modems which product id is 0x1001. For mine, with productID 0x1446, it never, never switches to 0x140C if I don't use Huawei tools. This wasn't needed on Jaunty. So, for me this bug isn't fixed yet.
