Description gianted 2011-12-04 14:08:24 UTC

Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

As I explain here:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288121

I can't connect my Huawei USB Modem – model E156G.

$ lsusb | grep 'Huawei'
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem
/ E230/E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem

after a hot swapping. I can manage mobile broadband connection only if I start the
system with the dongle plugged-in before power-on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Plug-in the modem.
System power-on.
Fill the requester with PIN, root password (now you can work with the modem).
Unplug the modem.
Plug again the modem.

Actual Results:  
The only way to work with the modem is to restart the system with the device plugged-in.

Expected Results:  
I can unplug the modem, plug it again and work with it without problem (as I
can with previous KDE version / Network Management - e.g. Kubuntu 10.04).

I think you did not understand my instructions in bug #288121, you should fill a bug in http://bugs.gnome.org not http://bugs.kde.org.
