Bug Description

Hello. It seems that on ubuntu there are two programs or windows which ask for the pin code. The non network-manager program steals the focus and keyboard to itself thus making it impossible to insert the pin on the network-manager window which is on top of the smaller focus stealing window. Or it might be possible if one enters the pin code blind, I have not tried yet. Anyways, the bug is _HIGHLY ANNOYING_.

Hi,

is there any way you could provide a screenshot to illustrate what you mean? There should really only be one program and window to ask for PIN, so we need to figure out what, or which application is doing this.

The smaller window stealing the focus and keyboard is actually under the bigger PIN window. I dragged the bigger window out of the way.

I think that the problem is following: the 3g dongle can work either in a usb-storage mode or 3g dongle mode. You need to somehow tell the dongle that you want the 3G functionality. I do not know if network-manager has such functionality but it would be highly appreciated. Last time I tried, I was unable to get the huawei dongle to work on my ibm thinkpad T43/p.

latrom, This already exists and is done by the usb-modeswitch package.

However, that's not what I read from the description of your problem. Isn't it that two PIN entry dialogs appear? Could you try this on a live CD of the development release of Ubuntu - Maverick Meerkat - to see if it still happens?
