[Sugar-devel] [TRANSIENT ISSUE] 3G-Modem not being recognised

[RJV]

Thanks, James/Tony. But that works, too, fine. The mobile icon plus the
frame presence is ok.

Another thing, though, that I have noticed is,

With the 3G USB stick in, after Disconnec-ting and Remove-ing (with PM off)
when I select Shut Down, it does not shut down normally. I have to Power
off the system.

XO 1.75 - 3.1, 12.1, 0.96, Build 21,

Regards,

Jv
