When I connect my 3G USB Modem to my laptop with 12.04, nothing shows up in Network-Manager.
Hi all,
Just thought I would post up my experience/problems/fix as a few people seem to have been having the same problems.
Using Ubuntu 9.10 on laptop.

I've been using WICD on my eeepc 1005HA and have been able to connect to my wireless network flawlessly. Today I was unable to connect until I noticed that both WICD and Network-Manager were trying to make the connection - seemingly fighting for control. The problem was resolved when I killed network-manager (followed by a "chkconfig network-manager off" to keep it that
