Probably I am confused, but my belief is that by default modem-manager writes to syslog rather than a separate log file. A lsof of the modem-manager does not show an opened log file. Isn't it possible to extract the modem-manager log from either of the syslogs I attacked by simply running a command like: grep modem-manager syslog-1104.txt
Anyway, I have run these tests again (I'm using the live CDs so anything I don't think to maker a copy of gets lost) and over the next few posts will attach the modem-manager and NetworkManager logs from 11.04 and 11.10. This time I have run them in debug mode with these commands (after first having stopped the existing instances): modem-manager --debug --log-level=debug &>modem-manager.log NM_PPP_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --log-level=debug --no-daemon &>NetworkManager.log ** Attachment added: "modem-manager log from 11.04" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/868034/+attachment/2619061/+files/modem-manager-1104.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868034 Title: Huawei E220 can't connect on Ubuntu 11.10 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu in my HP Pavilion dv6745tx laptop.
