[ubuntu-za] 3g trouble

[FransIT]

Which modem is it?

I assume airtime and data have been checked.

Try the modem with or with out the usb extension cables (it should have 
been in the box)

I recently started getting problems when I connect the auxiliary usb 
power cable with the modem

  When working on a computer you have to know enough:
  To fake what you don't know.
  Google what you can't fake.
  How (and when) to 'motivate' the computer to do what Google won't tell.
