Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
problem is that almost all modems are detected as "serial" v.250 modems,
but that isnt enough for NM to decide whether its a GSM or CDMA modem.
Without that info network manager cannot properly detect which commands
to use and ends up not supporting them.
Adding all the pci ids to the modem.fdi isnt the way to go. instead we
need to use AT commands to probe whether its a CDMA or GSM modem.
This probing could be done as a hal hook or in NM directly. The right
approach has yet to be decided.
