Comment 424 for bug 446146

Note that the fix messages are only for Lucid, not for Karmic. This is assigned to Andy Whitcroft, who last commented on this in November - perhaps we could have a comment on whether the Lucid fix is definitive, and if we can expect a karmic backport?

If not, we need some analysis of:
 * Which machines are fixed/broken
 * If they are running Lucid or Karmic
 * Which kernels they are using
 * Which modems they are using
 * What symptoms they experience
 * If the modprobe usb_storage trick works

I'm using a Huawei E220 and this is still broken for me on kernel 2.6.31-17 on karmic (as the status reflects). The ttyUSB devices are created then torn down every few seconds. I can get a connection, but the connection immediately drops when the device is destroyed.
