Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
Ubuntu 10.10, i386 I am not sure if this is a bug in GNOME Network Manager. It could be problem related to IPWireless card configuration or to udev rules or something else. Modem is not well configured to the system, it cannot be controlled from GNOME Network Manager. My notebook has PC-CARD/PCMCIA slot. I have two PCMCIA modems, Huewai E620 and IPWireless UE PCMCIA V3. Both are GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G modems. When I insert E620 modem, modem is detected and I can configure/connect/disconnect from GNOME Network Manager. When I insert IPWireless modem, modem is not detected and I CANNOT connect /disconnect from GNOME Network Manager. I can configure IPWireless modem with pppconfig tool and it works when I connect/disconnect from CLI with pon and poff commands. I followed this "howto in Czech", I created pppd configuration with pppconfig tool and it works. But only from CLI. http://www.suseportal.cz/forum/t-mobile-4g-ipwireless-pcmcia The howto is outdated, modem module ipwireless is in the kernel (2.6.35-27-generic-pae), there is no need to compile modem module from a source code. Modem is detected when plugged-in and modem device /dev/ttyIPWp0 and monitor device /dev/ttyIPWp8 are created. The problem is that this modem is not integrated to the system well, it cannot be controlled from GNOME Network Manager in easy way. $ modinfo ipwireless filename: /lib/modules/2.6.35-27-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/ipwireless.ko license: GPL description: ipwireless 1.1 author: Stephen Blackheath, Ben Martel, Jiri Kosina and David Sterba srcversion: DF867BBEFE9ECC370FAEE29 alias: pcmcia:m02F2c0200f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* alias: pcmcia:m02F2c0100f*fn*pfn*pa*pb*pc*pd* depends: pcmcia,pcmcia_core vermagic: 2.6.35-27-generic-pae SMP mod_unload modversions 686 parm: debug:switch on debug messages [0] (int) parm: loopback:debug: enable ras_raw channel [0] (int) parm: out_queue:debug: set size of outgoing PPP queue [10] (int) $ pccardctl info PRODID_1="IPWireless" PRODID_2="3G Data Modem" PRODID_3="V2" PRODID_4="" MANFID=02f2,0200 FUNCID=255 ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager Ubuntu 10.10, i386 - I am not sure if this is a bug in GNOME Network manager.
