Ubuntu – Huawei 3G modem disconnects after successful connection

12.043ghuaweimodem

I'm having a severe connection problem in Ubuntu 12.04 that renders the OS almost useless. I have a Huawei E352 3G modem. Ubuntu detects it as a mobile broadband connection without any problem. I created a new connection by providing APN. Now after connection it disconnects after a few seconds, and the modem disappears from mobile broadband list. I tried various workarounds but neither worked. I had no problem in Ubuntu 11.10.

Install Huawei Mobile Partner 21!

This will install a specific driver for your 3G modem, which will save you from auto disconnection. Unofficial installation guide: http://namakutux.blogspot.com/2012/07/bam-huawei-mobile-partner-for-linux.html?m=1
