Public bug reported: I think this it not a bug itself. When the Sony Ericsson MD300 is inserted, its not recognized as a 3g modem, just as a block devide. To make it to work i need to create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-md300modem.rules with the contents:
ACTION!="add", GOTO="3G_End" BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="d0cf", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo 3 > /sys/%p/device/bConfigurationValue'" LABEL="3G_End" Then, i just need to restart udev and the modem are correctly recognized. (i take this trick from the site http://laudecioliveira.org/blog/?p=70). I don't know if i need to open a new bug, but the network manager only activate this modem in the 'auto' mode, where it choice the band (2G or 3G) automatically, and i can't set it to work only with 3G (i can do this sending the command AT+CFUN=6 to the modem, but NM cannot permit to the user change the modem init strings. System: i only tested this with ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 (i386 and amd64). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- sony ericsson md300 mobile broadband modem isn't recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
