Bug Description
I have a 3G BroadBand modem from the Portuguese TMN.
Ref: http://
Its modem type is ZTE MF190J.
I need to use it in my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop.
I have created a definition in the "Mobile Broadband". The definition is done by a wizard where I select "Portugal" and "TMN" and where I enter a PIN-code. Please see the picture.
The pen indicates a green light, but still, I cannot access the internet. And the network-applet icon switches off.
The config looks like this

and
http://
One thing I noticed that Ubuntu first thinks that this USB-pin is a storage device (like a cdrom) and it mounts it to /media/ZTEMODEM. I have to "Eject" this mount point first, then Linux seemingly continues to load the driver. The light on the USB-pin turns red, then after 5 secs to green. The network applet says "Registered to your home network", then immediate after that "Modem network.. disconnected".
I know there is usb-modeswitch commmands that can disable the auto-mounting.
I have tested this same USB-pin (3G modem) on Windows and it work perfectly well.
I also used its Windows application to disabled the PIN code (just for testing).

Re-hello,
I have at least a partial or temporary solution.
This 3G-modem (ZTE MF190J) works now in Ubuntu-Linux.
It does not work with the ordinary network-manager, but it works fine with the "wvdial" command that I start from the command line.
Details in this thread:
http://
Notice:Ubuntu-
I had re-enabled the PIN-code in Windows, but still, the AT+CPIN command seems to fail.
# Init2 = AT+CPIN=1234
I do not know why.
Anyway, I have internet connection over this 3G-pen and that's the most important thing at the moment. Of course this matter needs more investigation till it works out-of-the-box in Linux. Just tell me how to help!
