ok. after discussing with Antti, the option.fdi appears to be not really an option. For some modems it would detect the right thing, but for others it might detect the wrong device and which even might cause issues.
So the way to go here is to add the probing code for GSM and CDMA either to hal ... or to NetworkManager. That alone should add support for quite a few modems that are currently only known as v.250. Everything left should be individually configured. Of course, we have to see how many cases are left. Cross your fingers that those are just a few. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #15346 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15346 ** Also affects: hal via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15346 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- MASTER Network Manager should probe for GSM and CDMA command sets. It doesnt detect 3g modems with serial capability only in hal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268095 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
