[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

[Russell Faull]

Carl, I have the same issues of unreliable connections, even with
2.6.31-15.50 and E169 -- NM icons spins then fails to connects, this can
happen several times before the network is established, but always
happens at least once after a reboot (see post #73 for kernel
developer's similar experience). It usually connects after suspend,
though.

See Tiger99's post  at #217 for an alternative to NM. This works
reliable for me and indicates to me that the problems are not just
kernel/device related (the earlier problem with kernel 2.6.31-14.48 is
solved with upgrade to *-15.50.) but also related to Network Manager
and/or Modem Manager.

It would be interesting if others could confirm this experience.
