    Try with this [answer](http://askubuntu.com/a/380653/224082). See weather V-mobile-Broadband satisfy the need. V stands for Vodafone. –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:21
  • Please see my EDIT, its saying no device found. I have tried your instruction. Please advise. thank you –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:30
  • YES - it was installed: `usb-modeswitch is already the newest version. ` –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:37
  • NO - device found still saying –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:37
  • Have you tried with other dongles before? Can Network manager worked with them? In help.ubuntu.com , it has not anything specialabout vodafone. It was told it works with vodafone modem client (V-mobile-broadband). So the issue may be with network manager. –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:48
  • OK - i will check more details. It never worked for me in Ubuntu so far yet. –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:50

    So first reinstall network manager. `sudo apt-get --reinstall install network-manager`. Then Install all the packages which network manager needs to work. `sudo apt-get install sudo apt-get install network-manager dpkg dbus dnsmasq-base iproute iputils-arping isc-dhcp-client libc6 libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libglib2.0-0 libgudev-1.0-0 libnl-3-200 libnl-genl-3-200 libnl-route-3-200 libnm-glib4 libnm-util2 libpolkit-gobject-1-0 lsb-base udev upstart-job wpasupplicant wader-core` –  Dec 29 '13 at 05:52
  • I reinstalled network-manager and installed like you suggested. But still its saying "no device found" –  Dec 29 '13 at 11:38

    Sorry. I'm afraid. Can you test the device with other Ubuntu computer and see weather it can detect?. If other computer can connect, that means there is a problem in your linux headers. Also you can try with installing `modemmanager` and see. But it removes V-mobile-broadband. –  Dec 29 '13 at 11:49
