Re: Info about Karmic modem manager and mode switching?

2009-12-13 Thread Antti Turunen

Thanks Joao,

this is a good start.

I have already made an own udev rule file for selected modems requiring 
eject or usb_modeswitch and with it I already get the modems nicely to 
modem mode. Even though, that is not enough because network manager: a) 
does not recognize these modems at all or b) sees the modem but 
connecting to the net miserably fails.


In addition, if the modem-modeswitch could do the same as usb_modeswitch 
I would like to learn to use that instead, as it is readily there in 
Ubuntu. Seems that there is only one type "option-zerocd" available. Is 
it possible to add different types (like in usb_modeswitch) here?

Hello Antti,
I had the same problem, on my case NetworkManager was selecting a 
random device from the 4 devices recognized from my Vodafone 3G PCMCIA 
Card.


I was directed to the following wiki page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingModemmanager

Fortunately on my case the problem is already fixed on the daily 
trunk, anyway I would like to understand how it works to isolate the 
fix and backport to the stable version.


I was investigation my problem based on HAL information (lshal, 
10-modem.fdi) from looking into similar bug reports, after looking at 
the modemmanager source I have found I was looking at the wrong place 
since udev is now used replacing HAL.


From mm-manager.c I have found that mm scans/handles devices  with 
subsystem "tty" and "net" .


You can get a list of the currently detected udev devices with:
udevadm info --export-db

Now. I  need to find where is the modem date retrieved from I guess 
there is an equivalent to hal-info with the modem information.


Hope it helps.

Hello all,

we know there is many 3G modems not yet properly recognized and/or
connected by modem/network managers in 9.10.

I have been searching around for information how the whole new
modem-manager thing goes, but I have not been able to find much.
Could someone tell if there is info somewhere about modem-manager
plugins, different modem-modeswitch options etc? I am not a SW
developer, but would like to try some tailoring for certain
problematic modem models.

Thanks in advance,

Anttu

Info about Karmic modem manager and mode switching?

Hello all,

we know there is many 3G modems not yet properly recognized and/or 
connected by modem/network managers in 9.10.


I have been searching around for information how the whole new

someone tell if there is info somewhere about modem-manager plugins,
