http://askubuntu.com – I am using Ubuntu 12.10 on my Dell Vostro laptop. I have connected a Micromax usb 3G modem to it. After a few seconds, an error message comes up Ubuntu has experienced some internal error. In the details it says 'usb_modeswitch_dispatcher'. I can not use it for internet connection. Is there any solutions? (HowTos)

HI,

This happens often for my ubuntu 12.04.

I'm using ubuntu on my laptop and connect to internet via wifi.

Sometimes even though the connection is established with the modem I'm unable to connect to the internet.

at that times I'm also unable to connect to 192.168.1.1, which should give me the page to my modem even if there is no internet connection to the modem.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and a 4G mobile broadband-modem called, ZTE mf880 ltf usb modem. Every time I loose internet-connection, Ubuntu seem to "loose track" of the modem and I have to pull it out and put it back in again, only to wait for Ubuntu to detect it again.
