[Bug 592564] Re: [Lucid] Huawei USB Modem E160 does not work for unknown reason

[Jiri Grönroos]

This is more likely a bug in network-manager since E169 (actually E620)
works instantly using wvdial. The only problem with using wvdial to
establish a connection is that many desktop applications check network-
manager's D-Bus values (such as
http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/developers/spec-08.html#org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Connection.Active,
NM_ACTIVE_CONNECTION_STATE_ACTIVATED = 2). If the connection hasn't been
established by network-manager, applications such as Firefox and Dropbox
will stay in offline mode. With Firefox this can circumvented by
altering about:config values but still... Too many applications depend
on network-manager's values and there's no easy way to tell to the
system that connection has been established without using network-
manager.
