mobile broadband in Network Manager on Live but not installed Ubuntu-Genome

[dlw_insulin]

Hi,

The live 13.10 Ubuntu-Genome on a USB works great with Huawei mobile broadband and
mobile broadband appears in Network manager and connection to internet immediate.

Not so if I am install this. No /dev/ttyU* and no choice for mobile broadband in network
manager. Looks like someone completely deleted support for mobile broadband. Anyone
know what's going on?

Thanks!

Some of the working Huawei 3g modems have been reported to be failing to work on latest kernels even though the usb_modeswitch and related packages seem to have support for them. So it may be a bug in the updates that might be causing this.

Please compare the versions of these in your live and installed sessions -

uname -r
dpkg -l | grep usb-modeswitch
modinfo option | grep version

And in your installed system (after a fresh reboot), plug in the modem > wait for about 20-30 seconds, then post back the outputs of -

lsusb
dmesg | tail -40
