Re: Problems with NM seeing 3G modem
I just submitted a patch for this card up stream? What distro are you running? You try Ubuntu Intrepid ? You will need hal entries for it to find it in your distro. I use the ATT Sierra Wireless now. Only thing with Ubuntu Intrepid (as temporary work around till network manager gets updated), you will need to remove the APN entry. After that it will just works. I use the PCMCIA version of this card with my Thinkpad T61 daily.

Hello Dan,
I don't have a file named 10-modem.fdi, however I have two that seem similar.
They are included below. The 10-usb-gsm.fdi file seems to have been added
as a part of the bundled mobile partner update from Acer/Linpus. To the
best of my knowledge, there is no Huawei modem in this notebook. The output
from lsusb is below.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 10freedesktop]$ cat 10-usb-modem.fdi

Paste the following in right after this section above:
!-- Sierra Wireless 881 --
match key=@info.parent:usb.vendor_id int=0x1199
match key=@info.parent:usb.product_id int=0x6856
match key=@info.parent:usb.interface.number int=0

append key=modem.command_sets type=strlistGSM-07.07/append
append key=modem.command_setstype=strlistGSM-07.05/append

/match
Then reboot and NM should see the card.
