NetworkManager doesn't detect my broadband device

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 7481 / 3 Years ago, sat, july 17, 2021, 6:15:35

I have a Huawei K3765 (USB ID 12D1:1520) and I'm trying to use it with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid.

I have usb-modeswitch installed, so when I plug the device I can see that it gets switched from storage-mode to modem-mode. My problem is that when I try to create a broadband mobile connection for it, NetworkManager doesn't detect the modem... I tried this on two different laptops. /var/log/daemon.log doesn't show anything of interest, AFAIKT... What could I try?

I had the same problem on 12.04 and the solution was to boot the machine with the dongle already inserted.

Ensure that the modemmanager package is installed.
