Is someone working on this? :)your distro may ship usb_modeswitch or modem-modeswitch. Either of those (or both) are generally the best way to fix this problem. Sometimes it's also done in the kernel drivers for the device. Dan
DanI am a newbie at setting wireless broadband therefore my notes are by a newbie and I compare to Windows settings. In Windows I plug the card and after making a little modification on settings due to wrong out-of-the-box settings (settings of modem) on my new Huawei 1692 dong, I was online, and I still see the mass storage In Fedora, I had to dig the net to find that I have to install and use usb_modeswitch, I don't have the broadband connection listed in nm-applet, I have to use automatic connection to use it...and in any case I do not have mass storage available.
I think that something could be done to improve situation, as NM is a great tool in anycase (switching between wired and wireless network is working like a charm, years ahead of similar tool in M$)
