Comment 422 for bug 446146

Everything worked well with 9.04. I upgraded to 9.10 after I thought problem was solved. I am new to Linux and it bothers me really to chnge my working setup to nonworking. I have Fujitsu-Siemens desktop (about 5 years old) with E220 dongle by Vodafone. I've upgraded firmware to latest one available. I am new to Linux/Ubuntu so I only get kernels via system update and don't experiment with other system kernels. I am hoping that the problem would be solved very rapidly. Some said that newcomers go back to Windows because of this problem and I can believe that. It is as much true that some people lost their net connection and cannot tell about their problem due to that reason.

Maybe I should switch to working system, 9.04 or Mandriva 2010? Mark S. tells us he wants Ubuntu experience to be better than OSX, I can tell this kind of problem gives a whole different experience.
