Description of problem: I have bought the above mentioned mobil stick, the system can recognise this, I see in the list of lsusb but neither Mageia control center nor kdenetwork settings cannot setup or recognise. It works fine with Mandriva 2011 kde network center. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please include the lsusb output for the stick.

A search on the usb vendor:model 12d1:1c0b indicates the stick needs usb_modeswitch. Install that package, and see if it works. If that alone doesn't fix it, then http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=255234 has more info that should help get it working.
I am sorry to say that usb_modeswitch has already istalled. I will read the fedora's forum.
That's ok. It just means Mageia is missing some mode switch definitions, or a udev rule. Once we identify which is missing, it (or both), can be added.
According to bug 2035, there is a missing requires in usb_modeswitch for the package tcl, that causes it to silently fail. Try installing the tcl package, if it isn't already installed.
I installed tcl. Mobil internet works but something is still wrong. The led of the stick is not green but blue. I am not sure what means this.
Good news. The led is O.K. The light was different. But Bad news. I cannot run any applications after that I connect the switch neither from the desktop nor from the kick-off menu. It is very interesting.
Any syslog output? If the system is frozen, try holding down alt+ctrl, and pressing the backspace key twice, to force a restart of the X server. If that fails hold down alt+ctrl+sysrq, and press the letters REISUB, one letter at a time to force a reboot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key#.E2.80.9CREISUB.E2.80.9D_.E2.80.93_safe_reboot
Hi! Syslog output - I will send you in the evening. The system is not frozen. If I start Firefox before I plug the stick I can use the internet. I think kwin or the whole KDE desktop work badly.
Could you explain me how I set up syslog.conf and the output? Thanks in advance!
(In reply to comment #11) > Could you explain me how I set up syslog.conf and the output? Given what's been described so far, I'd go with $ gedit ~/syslog.txt & $ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog Then connect the stick, and once new messages stop being added to the tail output, copy and paste all of the messages tailed from syslog into gedit, and save the file. Do whatever you have to do to get back to normal, then add an attachment to this bug report, and select the syslog.txt file.

I said before the system is not frozen. It is true or not because it takes only few minutes to cannot switch application.
From the syslog output, it's using networkmanager. As per bug 2160, try uninstalling networkmanager, and set NM_CONTROLLED=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 to see if that fixes the problem.
"As per bug 2160, try uninstalling networkmanager, and set NM_CONTROLLED=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 to see if that fixes the problem." Yes it works. Thank you very much.
As the missing requires in usb_modeswitch for tcl is covered by bug 2035 and the interference caused by networkmanager is covered by bug 2160, I'll close this bug as resolved, worksforme. Feel free to reopen if there is more to add, or other changes needed, not covered by the other bug reports.
