Bug 582365

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'.

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 12'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 12 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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This bug is still present in Fedora 14.

I am seeing the same problem in Fedora 14.  I connect my HTC Touch Pro 2 and rndis is working.  The device gets an IP address.  But nothing can actually let me access the device.

I'm also seeing the same problem:

Allowing ppp+ in the firewall configuration allows more progress, but then spits out a selinux error:

The source process: hal-dccm
Attempted this access: name_connect
On this tcp socket: port 990

You should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Allow this access for now by executing:
# grep hal-dccm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

These two actions (firewall and changing selinux config) appears to fix my problem.

On F17 with synce-gnome I get:

package: synce-connector-0.15.2-5.fc17.x86_64, and I've tried the dbus patch in org.synce.dccm.conf for adding "   <allow send_type="method_call"/>" as per BZ760991 with no luck so far.
