Package: network-manager Version: 0.9.10.0-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/NetworkManager
Dear Maintainer, Huawei 3G modem (used in mbim mode) requires a pin before usage. Modemmanager notices the issue from 'PinRequired' and sets the device state to the locked state. At this point NetworkManager knows about the 3G modem and locked state. But for some reason it decides not to send pin to modemmanager when I request NetworkManager to connect to 3G network. The modem has been connecting without problems with earlier versions of modemmanager and NetworkManager but then it was always in the older ncm mode. But the ncm modem has also became problematic with the latest iteration because mbim mode is now default and there is also some unlocking issues in manually set ncm mode. There exists simple workaround with mbimcli because it allows mannual control of the modem. It is simple to enter the pin from command line and then restart modemmamager to make it notice that modem has been unloked. (without modemmamager restart connection request fails from NetworkManager exactly same way as with locked modem) I have no idea so far if this issue has been addressed in a newer version already. But when I last tested same modem in Ubuntu 14.04 system it worked without unlocking issues. But I don't know what version or setting differences there is. -- workaround mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --enter-pin=0000 systemctl restart ModemManager -- lsusb Bus 002 Device 010: ID 12d1:151a Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. -- Log after inserting the device ModemManager[30532]: [/dev/cdc-wdm0] Queried max control message size: 1024 ModemManager[30532]: <info> Creating modem with plugin 'Huawei' and '2' ports ModemManager[30532]: <info> Modem for device at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5' successfully created ModemManager[30532]: [/dev/cdc-wdm0] Queried max control message size: 1024 ModemManager[30532]: <info> Modem: state changed (unknown -> locked) ModemManager[30532]: <warn> couldn't load Operator identifier: 'PinRequired' ModemManager[30532]: <warn> couldn't load Operator name: 'PinRequired' NetworkManager[2960]: <warn> (cdc-wdm0): failed to look up interface index NetworkManager[2960]: <warn> (cdc-wdm0) cannot enable/disable modem: locked NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): new Broadband device (driver: 'cdc_mbim' ifindex: 0) NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): exported as /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/13 NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): device state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'managed') [10 20 2] NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): preparing device NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): modem state 'locked' NetworkManager[2960]: <info> (cdc-wdm0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'none') [20 30 0] NetworkManager[2960]: <warn> Failed to activate 'Dna dna internet': Connection 'Dna dna internet' is not available on the device cdc-wdm0 at this time. -- After manual unlock with mbimcli and modemmamager restart systemd[1]: Stopping Modem Manager...
