I live in Sweden and use a Huawei E169. I have tried all of the suggestions above, I am currently using the proposed kernel as confirmed by uname:

Linux hp6730b 2.6.31-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 09:55:13 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I somehow managed to get one connection working yesterday, but I can't really reproduce the hoops I went through to connect again. Apart from that, I'm up to hundreds of failed attempts. Right now, after a boot the E169 is recognized as a CD again and no mention of it in the Network Manager. Trying safe removal and rmmod/modprobe results in other errors.

As from tomorrow, I will loose access to a wireless connection again. Any ideas how I can fix this? Is is completely safe to, for instance, downgrade the kernel to a working one from Jaunty? From a programmers perspective it feels a bit shaky to downgrade a central part of the system and keep everything else. If safe, how can I do this as simple as possible - ie download and install it?

Thanks,
Claes
