I setup a Raspbx installation on a Raspberry 3 but i'm having a strange problem.
I connected the RP to wifi by default, and set up my /etc/network/interfaces like this:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
wpa-ssid "MyWifiRouter"
wpa-psk "XXXXX"
address 192.168.0.77
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-search google.com
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
It all works fine, but whenever I plug a 3g modem (huawei) into the RP it completely disconnects it and my SSH session over wifi to the RP gets frozen (timed out).
This goes on maybe for 5 minutes or as soon as i disconnects the 3g dongle i can instantly log back in.
I checked /var/log/messages to see if the modem messes with my current interface and i found this:

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I see:
usbcore: registered new interface driver uas
And i think it maybe does change the interface and kicks me out, I'm not interested in the internet capabilities of the modem, i'm just using it for GSM calls through the pbx setup.
