NetworkManager and Nokia's HSDPA modem
Hi,
I wanted to use Nokia's built-in HSDPA modem to connect to Internet using NM.
For this I used Nokia N95 8GB:
lsusb | grep Nokia
Bus 005 Device 011: ID 0421:0070 Nokia Mobile Phones
I had to get very recent 10-modem.fdi file (from hal-info git)
lshal | grep tty -A4 -B5
udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_421_70_noserial_if0_0_serial_unknown_0'
info.capabilities = {'serial', 'modem', 'modem'} (string list)
info.category = 'serial' (string)
info.parent =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_421_70_noserial_if0_0' (string)
info.product = 'Serial Port' (string)
info.subsystem = 'tty' (string)
info.udi =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_421_70_noserial_if0_0_serial_unknown_0'
(string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/ttyACM0' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'tty' (string)
linux.sysfs_path =
'/sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1d.0/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.10/tty/ttyACM0' (string)
modem.command_sets = {'V.250', 'V.250', 'GSM-07.07', 'GSM-07.05'} (string
list)
serial.device = '/dev/ttyACM0' (string)
serial.originating_device =
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_421_70_noserial_if0_0' (string)
serial.port = 0 (0x0) (int)
serial.type = 'unknown' (string)
Now NM can detect it as modem, but almost instantly after connecting, it exits
with deactivating device (reason: 2).
There's the output of
NM_SERIAL_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
NetworkManager: ttyACM0: driver is 'cdc_acm'.
NetworkManager: [1229474366.651347] setup_monitor_device(): No
monitoring udi provided
NetworkManager: Found new Modem device 'ttyACM0'.
NetworkManager: (ttyACM0): exported as
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_421_70_noserial_if0_0_serial_unknown_0
NetworkManager: (ttyACM0): device state change: 1 -> 2
NetworkManager: (ttyACM0): deactivating device (reason: 2).
NetworkManager: nm_system_device_flush_ip4_routes_with_iface: assertion
`iface_idx >= 0' failed
NetworkManager: nm_system_device_flush_ip4_addresses_with_iface: assertion
`iface_idx >= 0' failed
NetworkManager: (ttyACM0): device state change: 2 -> 3
At this point I can see device as disconnected.
Any hints how to get it to work?
Thanks,
Rob

How to configure an OpenVPN connection? I thought you had one already, otherwise maybe I mis-interpreted "NetworkManager-openvpn (in v 0.7)? I notice that the openvpn service dies at startup". Are you trying to start the openvpn service as a system service at boot time instead? Basically, you can use the NM openvpn plugin to let NM manage your VPN connections, or if you really want you can use openvpn manually. However, since NM does things asynchronously to avoid blocking other stuff during startup, those other things will need a bit of logic to be kicked in the head when the network changes. Most things these days (avahi and ntp are two exceptions) don't listen to netlink for interface change events and dynamically reconfigure themselves or perform actions based on those events. If you're trying to get openvpn to start as a system service (not using the NM openvpn integration bits), then it's likely that you don't have a network connection yet by the time openvpn starts up.

A functional oversight, not horribly hard to fix I think. Essentially, when a connection "fails" (ie isn't manually disconnected by a user) the connection gets added to a blacklist, and isn't removed from that blacklist until it's successfully activated again. Blacklisted connections are eligible for 'autoconnect'. Thus even if it's autoconnect and it fails, it won't get reconnected. I think what needs to happen here is to only blacklist the connection if it's manually disconnected via DeactivateConnection, or if it fails and is not 'autoconnect'.

Hi Cesar, NM 07. The issue is not to create a new connection. The connection is OK. The thing is I need a persistent connection.

Anything Intel is usually an OK bet so far, but they of course are built-in. That's about the only blanket statement you can make. For other cards, it's sort of hit or miss. PCI-E Atheros cards (especially N-capable ones) are more likely to be supported and future-proofed now that Atheros themselves are working on the drivers for that (ath9k) upstream in the kernel, but there are some versions of older atheros cards driven by ath5k that are rocky. If it's a laptop, try: http://www.pcsurplusonline.com/viewprod.cfm?ID=14660 or grab a mini-PCI -> PCI converter card for about $10 and mount the ipw2200 in that.

They may bitrot, but they aren't for anything critical, and should not be used for UI strings anyway. Most of them are for GError translations from libnm-util crypto stuff. Some may be for system settings plugins. We'll have to do a bit more work to get them translated, yes, but I don't believe that it's critical.

three privacy questions
Hi, I am new on the list, and I subscribed, because I have three questions. First is about VPN's. In VPN settings there is an option to automatically connect to VPN. However, this is not working, I have to connect to VPN manually, after I am connected to the internet. Second is about secure and insecure networks. It would be fine to have a special "security" option for all networks. If user marks network as secure, nothing really happens after s/he connects to that network. But if user marks network as not secure (or - does not mark it as secure), then immediatelly after computer is connected to the internet, VPN connection is established. If VPN connection cannot be established access to internet is blocked, and user warned about security. However, user should have an option to manually confirm s/he wants to use insecure network, but that would not be done automatically. The same should happen when VPN connection drops. Now I am using VPN connection on a public WiFi and if VPN drops, there is fallback to insecure open Wifi. If I do not notice that, I am using insecure network, which is really bad... Third is about anonymity. You probably know Tor project: http://www.torproject.org/. Tor is an anonimisation software, some kind of powerful network proxy. In order to be really anonymous, user must have appropriate netwokr settings. H. D. Moore developed interesting application (here: http://www.metasploit.com/data/decloak/) to test the true anonymity of the user. The problem is, that different applications use different network settings so it is possible to reveal true IP address of the user. So, would be possible to add anoymity feature in Network Manager. Sometnihg like "I want to use internet anoymously" switch, which will set all user's TCP connections to Tor network?
