Ubuntu hangs after replugging the modem
- by Iftekhar Ahmed Shafi
I am facing this issue on Ubuntu 12.04, which is for my Wimax modem with beceem chipset.
If I replug the device Ubuntu goes in hang state. Its happens very often. If I plug the USB and restart it works most of the time. But it is very annoying to restart every time it hangs. The modem works smoothly in Windows 7. And it used to work OK in Ubuntu 11.10.
