Re: stopping modem manager STARTING AUTOMATICALLY
Hello! I have exactly the opposite problem: the Network Manager doesn't start the Modem Manager. I have the pertinent files: org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service under /usr/share/dbus-1/system-service and org.freedesktop.ModemManager.conf under /etc/dbus-1/system.d. And also an apropriate configuration for the connection under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection (it works when I start it manually). Why does my NM not start my MM? What distro and NM and MM versions? Could you grab syslogs from /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log (or similar)? Normally, there should be something like this there: ... NetworkManager[1312]: info trying to start the modem manager... Jan 23 23:01:40 gromit modem-manager: ModemManager (version 0.4-4.git20100720.fc14) starting... ...

Re: stopping modem manager STARTING AUTOMATICALLY
Hi have the same problem. i use debian squeeze (on armel) and tried the network-manager and modemmanager versions from debian squeeze. I also tried nm and mm from ubuntu natty (re-cross-compiled on debian squeeze) and still have this problem. Output from NetworkManager is: # NetworkManager --no-daemon NetworkManager[804]: info NetworkManager (version 0.8.3) is starting... NetworkManager[804]: info Read config file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf NetworkManager[804]: info trying to start the modem manager... NetworkManager[804]: info monitoring kernel firmware directory '/lib/firmware'. NetworkManager[804]:SCPlugin-Ifupdown: init! ... ... I had the same output with the debian versions. There is no problem when i start modem-manager manually: # modem-manager --debug ** Message: ModemManager (version 0.4) starting... ** Message: Loaded plugin Option ** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM ** Message: Loaded plugin Sierra ** Message: Loaded plugin AnyData ** Message: Loaded plugin Longcheer ** Message: Loaded plugin Novatel ** Message: Loaded plugin SimTech ... ... i have the file /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service installed and content is: [D-BUS Service] Name=org.freedesktop.ModemManager Exec=/usr/sbin/modem-manager User=root Any ideas?

Maybe, but I'd like to solve this the right way instead of adding more and more config options; there are already a bunch. However, I'd entertain a patch which did this as long as it also correctly returned an error back to the caller when ModemManager isn't running and a mobile broadband connection was requested. For debugging, that's something that needs to be fixed in ModemManager itself, and debugging options should be tunable via SIGHUP or a D-Bus method. MM gets autospawned so callers don't have an opportunity to specify --debug on the command line unless it's run manually by the user.

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? Yes, NM will poke MM via D-Bus service activation when NM starts. D-Bus service activation is a great facility but it has historically been a bit difficult for people to setup if they are building everything themselves. Basically, dbus-daemon listens for requests from clients (like NM) and if the client requests a service that is not yet running, dbus-daemon looks in /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/ for a special file that contains launch parameters. If one exists for that service, dbus-daemon will then queue the client's request, start that service, and deliver the client's request when the service is alive. 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, Not entirely; what you're seeing is the NM glue code to take user-provided configuration and tell ModemManager to start the 3G connection using that configuration, and device management to fit modems into the NM device model that any NM-aware client already uses. 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? It's a separate project available on Freedesktop like NetworkManager: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/ Also, if I want to set modem in linux terminal instead of through graphic applet, how can I do it? If you mean telling NetworkManager to bring up a predefined 3G connection then you can use nmcli (available in NM 0.8.1 and later) to do so, or for ealier NM versions you might be able to use cnetworkmanager. You can also use ModemManager without NetworkManager too, there are various examples of getting the list of recognized modems, scanning for providers, and connecting the modem in the test/ directory in ModemManager git.
