[Bug 287147] [NEW] knetworkmanager only sees usb gsm modem if it's plugged in before boot

[Cristian Arezzini]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: knetworkmanager

I have two onboard network cards: eth0 (wired) and eth1 (wireless). These always appear in the knetworkmanager app, and I can use them normally.
When I'm on the road I use a USB gsm modem. If I plug it AFTER boot, knetworkmanager doesn't see it, I can't start a connection using the gui. I have to run wvdial in a console.
If instead I plug the usb modem before turning on the computer, then knetworkmanager shows eth0, eth1 AND ppp0. And I can start/stop the connection from there.

It would be nice if the usb modem could be just plugged in at any time,
without being forced to run a console to start a connection.

Using knetworkmanager 1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.
Kubuntu II beta constantly updated.
