** Attachment added: "Patch to fix problem number 4 above" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35429863/x060_use_only_usbif_3.patch
** Description changed: Binary package hint: modemmanager There are quite a few glitches with this modem (I am speaking about X060, which is the one I own, but I believe X200 behaves pretty much the same, since they both have the same PCI vendor/product IDs): 1. Sometimes the modem doesn't show up in the nm applet. Here is the log when it does NOT show up: ** Message: Loaded plugin Novatel ** Message: Loaded plugin Sierra ** Message: Loaded plugin Gobi ** Message: Loaded plugin MotoC ** Message: Loaded plugin Option High-Speed ** Message: Loaded plugin Option ** Message: Loaded plugin Huawei ** Message: Loaded plugin ZTE ** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM ** Message: Loaded plugin Nokia ** Message: Loaded plugin Generic ** Message: (ttyUSB1) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** Message: (ttyUSB0) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** Message: (ttyUSB2) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'ATI<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'ATI<CR><CR><LF>Manufacturer: TCT Mobile International Limited<CR><LF>Model: HSPA Data Card<CR><LF>Revision: C1111000<CR><LF>IMEI: 352079030166324<CR><LF>+GCAP: +CGSM,+FCLASS,+DS<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** Message: (ttyUSB1) closing serial device... ** Message: (Generic): GSM modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 claimed port ttyUSB1 ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Added modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Exported modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 as /org/freedesktop/ModemManager/Modems/0 ** Message: (ttyUSB0) closing serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'ATI<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'ATI<CR><CR><LF>Manufacturer: TCT Mobile International Limited<CR><LF>Model: HSPA Data Card<CR><LF>Revision: C1111000<CR><LF>IMEI: 352079030166324<CR><LF>+GCAP: +CGSM,+FCLASS,+DS<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>' ** Message: (ttyUSB2) closing serial device... ** Message: (Generic): GSM modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 claimed port ttyUSB2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Sometimes the modem DOES show up, but it takes quite a long time, which is mostly spent after every unsuccessful AT+GCAP, until the successful ATI is issued. Here is the log when the modem is detected correctly and appears in nm-applet: ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Removed modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 ** Message: (ttyUSB0) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** Message: (ttyUSB1) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** Message: (ttyUSB2) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): probe requested by plugin 'Generic' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted<CR><LF>' ** Message: (ttyUSB0) closing serial device... ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'ATI<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'ATI<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'ATI<CR><CR><LF>Manufacturer: TCT Mobile International Limited<CR><LF>Model: HSPA Data Card<CR><LF>Revision: C1111000<CR><LF>IMEI: 352079030166324<CR><LF>+GCAP: +CGSM,+FCLASS,+DS<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'ATI<CR><CR><LF>Manufacturer: TCT Mobile International Limited<CR><LF>Model: HSPA Data Card<CR><LF>Revision: C1111000<CR><LF>IMEI: 352079030166324<CR><LF>+GCAP: +CGSM,+FCLASS,+DS<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>' ** Message: (ttyUSB1) closing serial device... ** Message: (ttyUSB2) closing serial device... ** Message: (Generic): GSM modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 claimed port ttyUSB1 ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Added modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Exported modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 as /org/freedesktop/ModemManager/Modems/1 ** Message: (Generic): GSM modem /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4 claimed port ttyUSB2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Even though the modem appears in the nm-applet, the connection fails. Looking at the log below, it looks like ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1 command returns an error. I've tried these commands separately from minicom and it appears like ATX4 and AT&C1 won't work unless an AT+CPIN="xxxx" is issued first. Here is the log. ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- 'ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1<CR>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): <-- '<CR><LF>ERROR<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:17218): DEBUG: Got failure code 100: Unknown error ** Message: (ttyUSB1) closing serial device... ----------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Ok, I issued AT+CPIN="xxxx" from minicom, the init AT command works and I'm moving on to the next problem. It appears that this modem exposes 3 usb interfaces through the option driver: 0, 1 and 3. 0 is usually mapped to ttyUSB0, and it does not respont to AT commands, so who knows what's good for. USBIF 1 and 3 are usually mapped to ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 respectively, but in my experience, only USBIF 3 works. I - reported this a few months ago in #392869. I am submitting a patch along - this report that applies cleanly on the current version of modemmanager - (0.2.git.20091014t233208.16f3e00-0ubuntu1) and fixes the issue. Note - that both ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 will take AT commands and try to connect - and everything, but only ttyUSB2 will work correctly, so my patch - consists of basically ignoring the useless interfaces when probing the - device. + reported this a few months ago in bug #392869.
