Bug 492222

I'm getting a WinMo device shipped to me.  In the mean time, does the rndis interface 'rndis0' have the correct 'info.linux.driver' bit in the output of 'lshal'?  If you're not sure how to look for that, just attach the entire output of 'lshal' when the phone is set in ICS mode.

I attached lshal's output on eth1 as lshal.txt. It does not contain the info.linux.driver attribute. My hal-info version is:

hal-info-20090202-1.fc10.noarch

linux-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10's rndis_host.ko registers the device as ethX, also does the current version from http://wireless.kernel.org/, which updates rndis_host along with rndis_wlan. I also tried the SynCE patched version of rndis_host [svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite] which registers as rndisX, but all versions showed the same behaviour:

-(root@halloween:2)-(11 files:100K@~)-(0 jobs)-(00:55)-
-(~:#)-> ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
	Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
	Link detected: yes

-(root@halloween:2)-(11 files:100K@~)-(0 jobs)-(00:55)-
-(~:#)-> ip link show eth1
6: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 80:00:60:0f:e8:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

-(root@halloween:2)-(11 files:100K@~)-(0 jobs)-(00:55)-
-(~:#)-> ip link set eth1 up

-(root@halloween:2)-(11 files:100K@~)-(0 jobs)-(00:56)-
-(~:#)-> ip link show eth1

    link/ether 80:00:60:0f:e8:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Depending on its configuration, a Windows Mobile 6 devices boots either into RNDIS mode by default or into USB serial mode, automatically switching to RNDIS mode when activating ICS.
I attached the according abstract of dmesg as dmesg.txt showing messages when the device is attached (detected as USB serial device) and then switching to RNDIS mode when activating ICS.

Created attachment 336929 [details]
Output abstract of lshal on the RNDIS device.

Created attachment 336930 [details]
Output abstract of dmesg when connecting the device in USB serial mode and then activating ICS which switches to RNDIS mode.

under usb to pc connection, make sure that the box for "Enable faster data synchronization" is checked. NM properly detects the RNDIS device and makes the connection once this is done.

Could you explain where to find this setting?  I can not find it on my Motorola Q 9h.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
