(Get the code!)
Here are my test results with the Huawei E160G:
Test 1: Current officially released kernel
I have clicked 3 times manually on Network Manager->(Mobile Broadband) Drei and nothing helped.
The log1a is after about 5 minutes after suddenly (didn't expect it anymore) the connection has been established.
Test 2: apw5 Kernel
I have clicked 2 times manually on Network Manager->(Mobile Broadband) Drei and nothing helped.
In the logs log2 is with WLAN additionally enabled, log2a is without.
Test 3: apw10 Kernel
On the first attempt plugging the mobile internet stick nothing happened (log3).
On the second attempt (log3a) it worked.
I notice that the drive does not get mounted as in Test 1 (and unfortunately I don't remember how it was on test2).
Test 4: Most recent development kernel (2.6.32-020632rc6)
log4 is my first attempt. The drive from the stick gets mounted. After clicking manually on the Network Manager->(Mobile Broadband) Drei it works.
Second attempt fails - I can't get it to work any more even if clicking several times manually to connect.
Test 5: Most recent development kernel (2.6.32-020632rc6) - After another reboot
I plug in the stick and wait until the message is displayed that GSM is disconnected. I click on 'Drei'.
It does not work either (log5).
Second attempt without success (log5a). BTW: Drive from the stick gets mounted.
Third attempt without success (log5b). BTW: Drive from the stick gets mounted. I try unmount and then reconnect without success.
Fourth attempt (log5c) using other USB port - message that disconnected comes quite fast, then drive gets mounted - no success.
Fifth attempt (log5d)
Sixth attempt (log5e) logged in a separate session before login - anyway did not work with the modem plugged in before login.
Test 6: Back on apw10 Kernel
It works only the first time I connect the stick!
Each further attempt (I did a few times) it does not work any more (log6).
What I notice is that in general the animated icon of network manager hangs with the tooltip "Preparing mobile broadband connection 'Drei'" after I plugged in the.
==> However, the apw10 kernel seems the only one I can get a connection at least the first time - did not try more often. I remember that on Jaunty with some older kernel I sometimes had to plugin the stick also a few times until it worked.
==> Anyway, my opinion is that the last released kernel in Jaunty was the one where it worked best for me.
