modemmanager --debug

output from modemmanager with --debug option

as you can see, it goes pretty far with connection, but fails in the end.

One more thing, when I try to connect for the first time, it fails right away, when I try the second time, it does something, the led goes green, still does something, and then it fails after a while.

wvdial log

This is the output log of a working wvdial configuration with the same card.
(I modified the PIN string for security reasons)

The wvdial.conf is plain vanilla:

[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATZ E0 V1 X4 &C1 +CMEE=1;+CFUN=1;
Modem Type = Analog Modem
New PPPD = yes
ISDN = 0
Username = zapp
Init1 = AT+CPIN="6262"
Password = zapp
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
Baud = 9600
Phone = *99#

Its the same issue as the MF636 and other ZTE modems. Can you please provide the output of lsusb for the device as well.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 515412 ***

Comment 4 Paul Ionescu 2009-10-02 17:22:53 UTC
Hi Peter,

Here is the lsusb before usb_modeswitch:

Bus 002 Device 007: ID 19d2:2000 ONDA Communication S.p.A. 

and after usb_modeswitch:

Bus 002 Device 008: ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A. 


However, I don't think my bug report is a duplicate of 515412, because my modem is recognized by ModemManager and NetworkManager as you can see from the attached logs.
I am able to create a new broadband connection with nm-applet and the process goes pretty far in talking with the modem.

Please see the text from the attachment_id = 363262 to see the detailed communication between modem-manager and the modem.

I can confirm this problem too, tested with F11 and latest updates, provider is Yesss from Austria.

I also don't think that this is a duplicate of 515412, because I can see the 'Create a new ....connection' option in the NetworkManager applet

Comment 6 LukasHetzi 2009-10-11 10:57:38 UTC
Hm, strange, my girlfriend got it working on her notebook out of the box..
Sorry for the early report, I'll test it again next week.
