In fact, module "option" is able to support this modem right now, but it doesn't know so, because the modem ID isn't bundled into the module.
The patch simply tells the kernel to use the "option" module to handle the Alcatel X060. So yes, expect this modem to be automatically recognised and handled by the kernel (with some aid of NetworkManager) in kernel future releases (2.6.31?) -- Kernel's module "option" doesn't support Alcatel X060 GSM modem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396521 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
