Package: guessnet Version: 0.55 Severity: normal The guessnet syslog logs are incomplete with hotplug, so that one doesn't know the ARP replies, nor which profile have been chosen.
See the following tests with the USB connection between my laptop and my Nokia N900. With the hotplug system, there is nothing after "3 candidates".
