Severity: serious
Justification: GSM modem support will not work out-of-the-box with non-systemd setups

Hi,

I see a similar issue about ModemManager not coming up by default via network-manager.

The reason is simple (after staring at mm and nm from jessie and wheezy for a while):

  o ModemManager comes with a DBus system-service file
o NetworkManager in Debian wheezy triggers that service (org.freedesktop.ModemManager) o NetworkManager in Debian testing does not have that code anymore, it expects
    from systemd to launch ModemManager

=> systems without systemd as PID 1 fail to start ModemManager and GSM devices are not available in NetworkManager.

Solution IMHO:

o Provide an init script in /etc/init.d/ that launches ModemManager on non-systemd machines
  o other options???

I hope we can get this fixed for jessie.

Mike
