Indeed. I hope someone is willing to have a look at it, if it's not

network-manager in Linux, how is it going to compete with Windows and

Any takers? Anyone at all?

How do we get some attention to this patch and get it applied to the main
source?
This is a *major* issue for anyone running a persistent 3G connection.

As a workaround, is there a way to unmark as invalid after nm decides to
mark as invalid, other than disconnecting and reconnecting the device?

 Hi,

 I also have some problems with persistent network connections and adapted
 the patch below (you should find the mail in August or September list
 archive), but it's solves only a part of my problems, also it makes things
 much better, I have still problems from time to time, where I need to
 disable and reenable the mobile broadband to get the modem reseted and
 didn't found a solution so far...

Hi all,

I sent this below email a few days ago but it doesn't seem to have made it
to the list.

Would someone kindly be able to offer me some guidance? This is a pretty
critical bug for me as a client of mine has been suffering from intermittent
internet issues for about a week now.

Thanks.

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why

2011-10-20 Thread Andrew Bird (Sphere Systems)
Hi David,
I'd be looking at why the hard disk is complaining first, the 
connection 
problem may be an unlikely consequence of failing hardware.

Best regards,


Andrew

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why

2011-10-20 Thread David Pfeffer
The hard disk complaint actually only occurs at the same time as a network
drop. I assumed they were somehow related to the 3G issue, because this
occurs on several machines, each with identical hardware and disk image.

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why

2011-10-20 Thread David Pfeffer
(This thought was furthered by the fact that the USB modem in question is
one that modeswitches, so it does have internal storage. Am I wrong in this
assumption?)

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why

2011-10-20 Thread Andrew Bird (Sphere Systems)
Hi David,
So is the harddisk device that complains the storage device on the 3G 
stick itself, or a different device altogether? If it's the same device I'd 
suspect that the 3G stick is resetting itself and momentarily disappearing 
from the system.


Best regards,


Andrew
