[Bug 414833] Re: Cannot turn on/off 3G modem in Vaio TT

** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
  I've recently purchased a Sony Vaio TT11LN/B; it comes with a 3G modem
  using driver "option" that's working like a charm in Karmic alpha 3 64
  bit, but:
  
  I'm always able to get a working connection, despite the content of
  /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpower show 0 or 1 (echoing works),
  so I assume it's consuming battery power even when not used.  This is
  important, as I haven't been able to get anything lower than 12.000mW/h,
  but my -died- Vaio TZ could afford 9.000mW/h...
  
  -----
  Updated 25/8/09: removed the problem "device not seen using lsusb when the laptop hasn't the battery on", as it's hardware related (dmesg shows the usb device is disconnected when I remove the battery).
