I have a Huawei E220 USB 3G/HSDPA modem..
It always worked relatively hassle free..
But recently when I updated from Fedora Core 7 to Fedora Core 8 a new problem was introduced:
If "haldaemon" is running when I plug it in then it will not initialize properly and I get loads of errors like this:

If I stop haldaemon ("/etc/init.d/haldaemon stop") and only then plug it in, then it initializes correctly and I can successfully connect:

Anyone have any ideas whats going on?
I don't know if this is a kernel issue a haldaemon issue or perhaps a Fedora Core specific issue?
At the very least, is it possible to somehow specify that haldaemon should completely ignore this device when it's plugged in?
Leaving haldaemon permanently disabled does not seem like the correct solution..
(Kernel version is: 2.6.23.1)
Thanks.
