Comment 7 for bug 840082

**Progress**

Again, another clean install was attempted, this time using:

 ubuntu-11.10-beta1-desktop-amd64+mac.iso

Using the Huawei Broadband modem to connect to the internet and after running update-manager and after de-selecting the following packages, downloading and installing the updates, the modem is connecting. The issue (of Huawei Broadband Modem connection failure) lies within one (or more) of these packages:

glib-networking
gnome-power-manager
ifupdown
isc-dhcp-client
isc-dhcp-common
libnm-glib-vpn1
libnm-glib4
libnm-util2
linux-generic
linux-headers-3.0.0-10
linux-headers-3.0.0-10-generic
linux-headers-generic
linux-image-3.0.0-10-generic
linux-image-generic
linux-libc-dev
network-manager
