Bug 545638

Description of problem:

I have a USB US Robotics modem - a real one that connects to wired phone lines.  It appears that modem-manager is trying to manage it, but this is not a wireless modem, so it is not doing anything useful, and is preventing me from using, e.g., wvdial.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.2 (from yum info ModemManager)

How reproducible:

Always (with this hardware)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect USB US Robotics modem
2. Try to use wvdial
3.
  
Actual results:

Expected results:

wvdial dials and opens a connection

Additional info:

A workaround should be to disable modem-manager, but I can't even figure out how to do that.
