Re: Web login
2010/4/13 Mads Kiilerich m...@kiilerich.com: As far as I know NetworkManager has no clever support for login to networks that seems open but requires login on a web page before it routes anywhere. No matter what you are going to use the connection for you thus have to open a browser and login before you can do your non-browser-based mail/chat/ssh/whatever work. It could be very nice if NM could make that more smooth somehow. Google finds a student that made a fine attempt: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2008-December/msg00115.html http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/NetworkManager_Web_Authentication Clever hacks are also possible in some cases: http://prematureoptimization.org/blog/archives/107 Are there any plans, dreams, thoughts, progress or other info in this area? /Mads Of course, such functionality would be kinda cool. I could imagine it like this: a) user connects to open network with web interface for username and password; b) NetworkManager detects it, and offers to enter username and password and remembers it using gnome-keyring; c) Next time it logins automatically; It would request to use libsoup propably for entering user data in actual page. Also detection of such page could require some smart hacks, but I think it is doable.

Modem ports found only after taking out and placing back in SIM card
Hi everyone! Lucid, 2.6.31 kernel, Huawei 220. When I attach device after fresh system restart, it can't find ports - option doesn't kick in automatically, I can run it only manually. When I take SIM out and place it back, option kicks in and I can deattach/attach USB modem and driver is still loaded properly. I can deal with this annoyance, but this is quite stupid for casual users. Any ideas what could cause that? Similar problems?

I know solution, I know you can mention it in help and troubleshooting, but still... In what way? Auto eth0 should be able to be edited, since that's often the only connection that applies to the device. There can be multiple connections for each device, with static, DHCP, etc. Well, current field scenario is this - user sees this connection, edit it for manual IP, but after reboot it is back to DHCP, so this causes huge confusion between users. So I suggest that Auto eth0 can be only disabled, but not edited. If user wants additional connection for device, it will create it.

Re: No default route on 3G
2009/12/24 José Queiroz zekk...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 and NetworkManager from Launchpad PPA (sorry, I don't have the exact version number now). The wired and wireless networks goes well, but the 3G connection doesn't get a default route when connected. I think that the problem isn't a bug from Network Manager, but some residual configuration, since this notebook was originally installed with Kubuntu 9.04 and got upgraded and updated several times. Could someone give me some hint on where could I search these configs? Well, if you have configured your connection in connection editor (I don't know how it is in KDE 4, I use GNOME myself), you should see it has DHCP enabled (otherwise just ppp0 interface gets created with connection). You can check if you get DHCP answer from peer by checking /var/log/syslog messages for NetworkManager with 'cat /var/log/syslog | grep NetworkManager'.

NetworkManager on Karmic Koala (0.8~a~git.20090804) doesn't recognise Mobile modem Huawei E1692 (lsusb shows E620)
Hi there! Same old story - worked in Jaunty after usb_modeswitch, doesn't in Karmic. Usb_modeswitch works properly, dmesg shows serial ports gets created, but NM remains silent in it's own debug (--no-daemon and NM_SERIAL_DEBUG used) and I can't connect to mobile broadband profile I created.mBug reported here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/412362 I just wonder how I could help to get this modem back in the line? What debug shall I do and report for the record? What code I should pull and compile? :) I have some expierence with crunching bugs like this, so give me instructions, I will try to do the rest. Also another interesting feature of this modem in Jaunty is losing it's serial ports when mobile connection goes high-way. Only re-plugging and reswitching helps. Kernel bug? NM problem?

Sorry for trouble, now it works. Karmic packages where set wrong, without modemmanager package, package upload seemingly fixed this only yesterday. Thanks guys for debuging tips, will be useful next time. Cheers, Peteris. 2009/8/12 Alexander Sack a...@ubuntu.com: one detail ...

Re: Huawei E1692 is not recognized
Hi Antonio! Answer is simple - you need usb_modeswitch utility to switch USB device to modem. I use this modem for my laptop - and it works beatifully. Just need to run usb_modeswitch everytime I plug it in. Which is a bummer. Follow instructions here http://www.ahmedsoliman.com/2009/07/12/etisalat-usb-modem-on-fedora-11/ and of course put your modem's USB id strings where needed.

How to add support for modem to NM
Hi there! How can I help to add support for Huawei E1692 modem so it works up to date in next Ubuntu/Fedora release? This is new one, doing connection type changing automatically (roaming between UMTS, GPRS and friends). This is used as prepaid mobile broadband modem, so it will become more popular. Also I would like to know the steps what I should do to add any other modem (if it's not supported). I have instructions for PPP (http://www.santinoli.com/open/e1692-howto.html), but of course I would like to use NM.

Re: Network Manager's supported Modem list
But it would be hard to make such list looking at the code? If not, I could try to make such list. It would help Linux support guys everywhere.

And if this is a 'no' what part of the code base do I look at to find out the supported modems? It depends on a few things... first, the kernel drivers having the IDs for the modems. In general, NM will support generic modems that use ATDT-style connection setup (ie, PPP). It also supports Option 'hso'-style modems that use OWAN-style call setup. As of 0.7.1, I think we've got support for most of the modems that are currently in wide use. We do occasionally find quirks (like Huawei CDMA modems from Reliance India that return COMMAND NOT SUPPORT instead of ERROR, for example). i.e. is there a 'conf' file with scripts for each modem? Nope, they are handled automatically in the code. Scripts aren't really flexible enough, or if they are, they turn into a programming language anyway. Dan Kind regards, Nicholas.

What about modems (winmodems/serial)?
Hi people, Ubuntu has now chosen NM 0.7 as default network management point. However, there is regression in Ubuntu as you can't configure ppp devices anymore via GUI. So question is - is there any plans to add support for old style modems to NM? If yes, how and when?
