Comment 427 for bug 446146

The problem also occurs on my system:

$ uname -a
Linux rhnb4119 2.6.31-18-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 8 14:54:52 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# from proposed

$ sudo lsusb | grep Modem
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
# first generation o2 Surf-Stick

$ aptitude show network-manager-gnome | grep Version
Version: 0.8~rc2-0ubuntu2~nmt2~karmic
# from network-manager ppa

I have to say I am very disapointed, that this bug isn't fixed after over 3 months!
This could be easily a reason for people to change away from Ubuntu!

→ So, How can I help?
