Description Kevin R. Page 2009-03-28 16:45:11 UTC
This card has worked fine up to kernel-2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10

I installed 2.6.29-3.fc10 to test for bug #470225 and bug #465884 (so far I've not had an F10 kernel that can give me more than two out of: working X, working wlan, working wwan!).

The internal wwan card in my Thinkpad X61s is no longer detected - it uses the sierra module. Neither sierra or usbserial are automatically loaded with this kernel. Manually modprobing them doesn't get further than:

USB Serial support registered for Sierra USB modem
Mar 28 16:36:14 mopp kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver sierra
Mar 28 16:36:14 mopp kernel: sierra: v.1.3.2:USB Driver for Sierra Wireless USB modems

i.e. I'm missing detection of the modem, from 2.6.27:
Mar 16 11:20:15 mopp kernel: sierra 6-1:1.0: Sierra USB modem converter detected
Mar 16 11:20:15 mopp kernel: usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Mar 16 11:20:15 mopp kernel: usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB1
Mar 16 11:20:15 mopp kernel: usb 6-1: Sierra USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB2


I'm not entirely sure if this is a kernel, hal, or even NM problem, so please re-assign if necessary!

Comment 1 Kevin R. Page 2009-03-28 16:51:13 UTC
I've just noticed that my bluetooth module isn't detected either.

It's internal, but I have a feeling this might be on the same daughterboard as wwan. I think it attaches over USB (thinkwiki is down, I'm afraid).

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2009-04-01 16:18:13 UTC
Can you post the output of the lsusb command from that system?

Comment 3 Kevin R. Page 2009-04-11 22:45:42 UTC

2.6.29-3.fc10.i686:

What's a little odd is that when I grabbed that last lsusb I noticed I had a detected bluetooth card. Yet right now (and on other occasions I guess, given comment #1, precluding madness), same kernel (2.6.29-3.fc10.i686):

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

No bluetooth.

A race somewhere, perhaps?

Comment 4 Kevin R. Page 2009-04-16 11:27:12 UTC
Bug still present in kernel-2.6.29.1-30.fc10 from updates-testing.

No wwan present (or showing in lsusb) and no bluetooth (on this boot, at least).

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2009-04-22 15:14:50 UTC
Can you attach /var/log/dmesg after booting working and broken kernels?

dmesg 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 (with NetworkManager kick)

With earlier kernels/NetworkManager versions (no longer installed) NM always detected the wwan module straight away. However with 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.i686 I have to:
modprobe -r sierra
modprobe sierra
service NetworkManager restart

for the wwan module to appear in NetworkManager. This is just to get it to appear in NM - the wwan and bluetooth are detected anyway (as per lsusb), but something must've changed somewhere, so I've included this just in case it's relevant.

The dmesg is the same as the earlier one for 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10, but with the sierra modprobe and NM restart on the end.

Comment 9 Kevin R. Page 2009-04-23 15:00:52 UTC
Looking good so far with 2.6.29.1-42.fc10.i686.

Comment 10 Chuck Ebbert 2009-09-05 02:54:53 UTC
This should also be fixed in the latest 2.6.27 F-10 kernels.

Comment 11 Kevin R. Page 2009-09-05 18:48:54 UTC
Running F11 now so can't check F10 - safe to close this bug, I'd have thought?

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 11:37:59 UTC
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.

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

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 09:07:57 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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.
