I recently switched from Win 7 to Ubuntu 12.04...Best day of my life :)

I have a question relating to my Vodafone K3772-Z USB modem. When I plug it in, the lights start flashing on the device, meaning that it is functional. In the network menu I get a "Wired network Vodafone K3772-Z disconnected". I have set up the a connection by using Edit connections -> mobile broadband -> Add, but in the add window the "Create a connection for this mobile device" is blanked out and says "Any Device".

Does anyone perhaps have an idea of what I could do to get it working?

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version. In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More
