[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#636112: network-manager: Huawei E220 does not connect in Wheezy 64bit, but works fine in Squeeze 32bit

[MUDr. Jiří Keller]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.8.4.0-2
Severity: normal

Hello,
 3G Huawei E220 modem works fine in Debian Squeeze 32 bit, just asks for ISP
and connects (even quite fast). On my main machine, I installed 64bit Wheezy
and it does not connect (using exatly same piece of hadrware and setting -
network manager asks exactly the same way). Unfortunately, I am not able to get
any usable debugging infromation out of nm-applet. Suggested change in /etc/ppp
is not a problem, as on Squeeze modem works out of box.
 George
P.S.: is there any easy way to debug it ??
