Alexander,
First of all thanks for your guide to setup NM with my HUAWEI E220 USB modem. I didn't want to post this here as it is not connecting directly to the issue. Anyway please find herewith my findings.
I think the main problem is that my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS distribution mounts the USB modem to different devices almost during all start-up. Let me describe in details. I set up NM to use ppp connection via the USB modem, which is mounted to /dev/ttyUSB0, however sometimes the system mounts the modem to /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB3, thus the system can't recognize my modem at all, hence NM crashed (simply did nothing) without any error message.
When I was lucky and the system mounted the modem to /dev/ttyUSB0 and ppp connection started, Firefox started automatically in online mode. It seems the fix is working fine.
Regarding the applet. After I installed the fix the applet on my system was disappeared under root account while a normal user can see the applet on its own desktop.
Do you have any idea how can I set up my system to mount the modem always to /dev/ttyUSB0?
What can I do to see the applet again?
Thanks in advance,
Laszlo
