USB device info missing
 

Hi there,

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS beta, I've problem connecting with my USB broadband modem, it is not detected at all, but it worked fine on pervious version. I then install the 'hardinfo' to display system hardware info., so that hopefully I will see what chipset in use and I may be able to get the driver for it, but there is nothing on the USB section, my other USB devices all worked fine, what's up in here ??

Ubuntu 12.04 is still a beta, that means it is known to have bugs and using it makes only sense if you want to be part of that bug-finding/-fixing process. Seems that you have found a bug, it is up to you to report that bug so that the Ubuntu developers can fix it.

Yes I definitely found a bug ! but I wish I know what inside my USB modem so that I can post as well.

If it was working with previous versions just us a live CD/USB of an older version to get that info.

What I can get from hwinfo about the modem is :

usb_device.vendor = 'OMEGA TECHNOLOGY'
usb_device.product = 'WL-72B 3.5G MODEM'

How do I tell if this is still supported in this version ? how to check the driver db where is the file ?

Ubuntu does not automatically support usb wifi adapter, but it works well in Opensuse.
I am not sure why?
