It was on an Ubuntu forum. It seems the newest USBConnect modem from AT&T is not recognized as a modem, but rather is getting recognized as a USB drive that then can't be mounted. Here's the fix for that: Create a file called /etc/hal/fdi/information/modems.fdi with the following contents: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- xml -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <!-- Sierra Modems --> <match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x1199"> <!-- GSM/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA modems In left-to-right order of product ID: C885 0x6880 --> <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int_outof="0x6880"> <match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="4"> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append> <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">GSM-07.07</append> <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">GSM-07.05</append> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Once this is here, just reboot (easiest in this case). Once back up and running, NetworkManager will recognize the card as a Sierra Wireless (under Edit --> Connections...) and away we go!
