I'm new here on the list. First of all, we thank you guys for the great effort on making this application which has really changed the way people use Linux in general and making this OS a lot more easier to use for the general population.
We're using Network Manager via Python DBus (like many others) to see and use modem devices.
The problem is, we connect modems just fine, and everything works. But when we plug in new USB devices, the existing modems that have already been connected all disconnect at the same exact time. If we just plug all USB dongles and after that connect them, it will have no problem.
1. Connect USB dongle/broadband on any USB port.
2. Configure and get the dongle to connect successfully
3. Repeat from step #1 with more USB dongles, but one by one
4. Previous modem(s) will disconnect at the same exact time shortly after the later is connected
There is no kernel error during these steps, so dmesg just prints normal ttyUSB* population, as well as SCSI drive information if the dongle has one. Bug reproduction has been found to happen with as low as 2 USB dongles, but sometimes 3 is necessary to reproduce the bug.
I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and also have tried 13.04 as well as 10.04... they all act the same. So, I figured this is Network Manager-related since no kernel errors are ever observed. And this happens on VirtualBox (Windows, Linux), VMware Workstation (Windows, Linux) / Fusion (Mac) as well as on non-virtual full OS running on bare metal, multiple computers; practically on any platform.
