My modem is not supported by Fedora rawhide. I have installed and run usb_modeswitch. It now shows: # lsusb Bus 002 Device 005: ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A. I have also added a new fdi file and rebooted: # cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf636.fdi <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <!-- ZTE MF636 HSDPA USB dongle --> <match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x19d2"> <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x0031"> <match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="3"> <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">GSM-07.07</append> <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">GSM-07.05</append> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> Unfortunately it does not seem to be detected by NetworkManager.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have found that with modem ZTE MF626, F12 automatically mounts a usb-mass-storage device, and if ejected (while keeping the usb-modem connected), the modem is recognized, and connections are possible. Pls see output in bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541314
lsof, can you attach some 'dmesg' output from right when you plug the device in, through when it's modeswitched, through when NM fails to recognize the device? I'd like to see if it's correctly modeswitched or not.
Dan, if you need output for the ZTE MF 626 (not 636), let me know. Same issue. Pls give precise instructions on how to "dmesg", however.
It's not modeswitched, I have to wrong the usb_modeswitch utility manually with a custom config file. I will post the output before and after tomorrow. Before the modeswitch the virtual cdrom is mounted.
s/wrong/run/;
Created attachment 375229 [details] dmesg output for zte mf626 attached output from dmesg > ztemf626.log, when 1) attached usb modem ZTE MF 626, 2) eject mass-storage device, leading to 3) recognition of mf 626 modem in NW, to 4) establish the 3G connection (disable wifi), and then 5) disconnect the 3G connection, and finally 6) try to reconnect the 3G connection. hope it helps

Can you do the following for me? 1) service NetworkManager stop 2) killall -TERM modem-manager 3) modem-manager --debug 4) service NetworkManager start (in another window) 5) unplug and replug your device, try to reproduce the problem where the modem is not seen by NM 6) when you reproduce the problem, attach/paste the modem-manager output here and we can see what's going on with modem detection
First I deleted that custom fdi file then I rebooted and followed your instructions. I got this: # modem-manager --debug ** Message: Loaded plugin Generic ** Message: Loaded plugin Option ** Message: Loaded plugin Sierra ** Message: Loaded plugin MotoC ** Message: Loaded plugin Nokia ** Message: Loaded plugin Novatel ** Message: Loaded plugin ZTE ** Message: Loaded plugin Huawei ** Message: Loaded plugin Gobi ** Message: Loaded plugin Option High-Speed ** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM I plug in the modem and nothing happens.

By the way with wvdial it works fine. For the init strings I use (from wvdial.conf): Init1 = at+cfun=1 Init2 = at+cgdcont=1,"ip","PROVIDER"
Is that all the MM logs you have? You might want to wait 10 seconds or so for the modem to completely finish probing. If it actually never finishes, or takes a long time to finish, then we should gdb modem-manager to figure out why its hanging there.
Those are all the logs. Nothing happens unless I run usb_modeswitch (do you want me to run it?) What do you mean when you say "try to reproduce the problem where the modem is not seen by NM". Do you mean just plug in the modem and wait?
Yes, please run usb_modeswitch and report the MM logs.(In reply to comment #13) > Those are all the logs. Nothing happens unless I run usb_modeswitch (do you > want me to run it?) Yes; the modem is not usable until its switched to modem mode. > What do you mean when you say "try to reproduce the problem where the modem > is not seen by NM". Do you mean just plug in the modem and wait? Yeah.
Okay then to answer your question: (In reply to comment #12) > Is that all the MM logs you have? You might want to wait 10 seconds or so for > the modem to completely finish probing. If it actually never finishes, or > takes a long time to finish, then we should gdb modem-manager to figure out why > its hanging there. It never finishes. strace says it's doing nothing. I'll run it from within strace and post the result.
Ok, thanks. Basically, it looks like something in the kernel or the device is not responding or making the port hang. You should get more output from ModemManager, including messages about sending AT+GCAP to ttyUSB1. If the probe times out (it'll send 4 AT+GCAP requests to each port) then you should also see a message about "Closing serial port X" too.
Actually, give this a try: Remove the line that contains '19d2' from /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules, then unplug your device, and replug it. Make sure you still have usb_modeswitch set up to flip the device to modem mode. modem-manager should then be able to use the device.
Okay I did that and reloaded the udev rules. I got this: ** Message: Loaded plugin Ericsson MBM ** Message: (ttyUSB2) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE' ** Message: (ttyUSB0) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE' ** Message: (ttyUSB1) opening serial device... ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE' ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB2): <-- 'AT+GCAP<CR><CR><LF>+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES<CR><LF><CR><LF>OK<CR><LF>' ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB0): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' ** (modem-manager:9418): DEBUG: (ttyUSB1): --> 'AT+GCAP<CR>' Similar to before. NetworkManager doesn't seem to see the modem. I am expecting a 3G menu to appear and for me to be able to click on my connection (that doesn't happen). Normal wvdial works.
(In reply to comment #18) > Okay I did that and reloaded the udev rules. Did you unplug/replug the ZTE device too after fixing the rules?
Yes I did.
Ok, kernel bugs. There's one or two fixes in the tty layer in 2.6.31.7 and 2.6.32 that could have an impact on this, so we may just have to see how 2.6.31.7 does.
Can you try the packages here? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=149089 They fix a specific issue with unresponsive serial ports that could be blocking ModemManager in your case.
I've been having exactly the same problem. With ModemManager-0.2.997-5.git20100101 (the build mentioned above), NetworkManager recognizes my ZTE MF636, and I can connect normally, so this bug is fixed to me.

For this to work out of the box, something needs to call usb_modeswitch. Is this planned?
(In reply to comment #27) > For this to work out of the box, something needs to call usb_modeswitch. Is > this planned? Upstream usb_modeswitch now has nicely generated udev rules files to automatically switch any known devices. So that would be handled by the usb_modeswitch package.

OK, I just couldn't wait for modemmanager to come out as a stable update. I've updated as described in the previous comment (31), and now my GSM modem ZTE MF636 is being recognized as it should. I've only noticed that, after ejecting, it takes a little longer to become available in NetworkManager than my previous GSM modems. As for having to "eject" the device in order to have it recognized as a modem, I don't see much of an issue in here, actually the device is also a mass-store device...
ModemManager-0.3-1.git20100119.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Just to add my 2 cents.. this works! But ejecting doesn't make it work, I have to run usb_modeset manually, which means it doesn't work out of the box :/
(In reply to comment #34) > Just to add my 2 cents.. this works! But ejecting doesn't make it work, I have > to run usb_modeset manually, which means it doesn't work out of the box :/ Interesting; my MF626 and MF622 work with a simple eject, but never assume that things will stay the same :) Thanks for testing!
I have a ZTE MF636, vedor=19d2, product=0033. It doesn't show up in NetworkManager with Fedora 12 fully up-to-date as of today (March 2nd). My vendor/product id does not show up both in /etc/usb_modeswitch or in /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules. I set up usb_modeswitch so as to switch the device and /dev/ttyUSB0-3 appear, however NetworkManager stubbornly refuses to "see" the device whatever I do. Please note that this is a MF636 with id 0033. I would appreciate any hint, please let me know which further useful infos/logs I can provide
