Hi A few days back my mobile broadband device (ZTE EVDO AC8700) stopped working on Ubuntu 9.10 (Ultimate). This distro had been updated recently but i faced no problems after the updates. The mobile broadband just refused to work, i logged into windows to see if there was a signal and if it worked, after some struggle it started to work. I then booted up a live Ubuntu 9.10 CD and there too this device got working. I thought the problem might be with the network-manager so i went an uninstalled it hoping to install an older version, but now i get an error while installing error message from synaptic while selecting network-manager-gnome for installation "Package network-manager-gnome has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list" any idea what this means. So net result is i am unable to get back the network-manager tool on my panel Any idea how to re-install this app *** am currently using the said device by setting it up under gnome-ppp, regards ram
