I have got hold of a USB 3G modem for my travels in a couple of weeks. I was hoping it was a case of connect and it should show up in Network manager in Ubuntu 16.04 unfortunately nothing.
The only place it seems to show up is if I run usb-devices in a terminal
This is the output relating to the modem;
T: Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=02 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#= 6 Spd=480 MxCh= 0

I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
Please help me to get this to work and escape this insanity!
Thanks
