Hi Jikra,

I am new to networkmanager open source and need your help.

For networkmanager 0.80, do you mean networkmanager will also bring up
modem-manager? But I didn't see it. Is it because networkmanager doesn't
detect the modem in udev?

Also, I have questions of relationship between networkmanager and
modem-manager. I read the code of networkmanager 0.8.0, and modem-manager is
part of it. When we do compile or build, install, will "modem-manager"
exe-file automatically be generated? But it seems there is no main()
function in the folder of modem-manager. And I didn't see modem-manager exe
file be generated when I do make install networkmanager.  Or we need to
download a separate packet to build and install modem-manager?

Also, if I want to set modem in linux terminal instead of through graphic
applet, how can I do it?

Currently, I put "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service" under
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-service and "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.conf"
under /etc/dbus-1/system.d. In addition, I put a keyfile TestMode under
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connection. However, I am still not able to make
the modem run. Do I miss something?

thanks a lot for the help

Xiaohong
