[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

I've decided to name this distribution, 9.10, the "9-out-of-10". Many
things seem to work so far (haven't tested them all yet, I can tell some
of the buttons seem not to respond, but it goes beyond this Bug report).


Anyway, here's my report with a Vodafone Portugal equipment.

- Netbook: Eee PC 1000H (Intel Atom N270 @1.60GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 160Gb disk, Bluetooth, SD reader, 1.3M webcam).
- Dongle: Huawei K3520 (see lsusb below), reads as a E620.

Installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix ISO from CD (using an external USB DVD drive) with kernel 2.6.31-14-generic (2.6.31-14.48), and had the reported problem. 
Following the instructions presented for bug #446146 , I 
1) downloaded the linux-image .deb from my still-installed Windoze partition ;-) (after all I paid for it when I bought the netbook!) from karmic-updates by hand (browser), 
2) rebooted and mounted the partition
3) installed the .deb file linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic (2.6.31-15.50), see e.g. http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-updates/linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic
4) rebooted with the new kernel.

The only change I had to make in Network Manager was to change the
connection's IPv4 connection method to "only automatic addressed (ppp)"
and enter the primary and secondary DNS servers' IPs.
