Are you sure you're in an area with good coverage?  Usually a CSS response with a SID of 0 means the coverage is not good or the modem hasn't been able to register...

Coverage is OK, in previous Fedora is everything functional.

I cannot connect with

ModemManager-0.2.997-5.git20100101.fc12.i686

from testing repository too.

What exact Huawei model # is the modem, and what's the output of 'lsusb' and 'lspci'  when the device is plugged in?

On the pcmcia card is "Huawei Mobile Connect EC500 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO data card"

Is there a chance that your provider is EVDO only and does not run a 1xRTT network?

Are you comfortable with a serial program like minicom?  We can do some additional debugging.  I have a number of theories about what's going wrong but need to confirm them first.

The modem have CDMA tariff.

Tell me please, which commands output you need from minicom.

Modem actually have college from work, I can reply asap.

Modem works fine in previous Fedora.

Ok, I'm interested in the response to:

AT&V
AT^SYSINFO
AT^HDRCSQ
AT^HDRCSQ?
AT^PREFMODE?

Thanks!

*** Bug 552121 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

bugfinder, if you are comfortable with minicom and you woudln't mind trying out the commands in comment #8 I'd much appreciate it.

It does support CDMA 1X. In the windows version of the dialer, there are 3 options to select from.

1. CDMA
2. EVDO
3. Hybrid Mode (during travelling)

What's the *specific* model printed on the modem itself?  Huawei uses the same USB ID for a bunch of different modems.  Your version doesn't appear to support the standard Huawei AT commands, so I'll need to see if I can find some of the commands it has somewhere else.

Ok, this indicates the modem in in HDR-only (ie EVDO) mode.  I'll add some code to bypass the +CSS response for Huawei CDMA devices like I did for AnyDATA modems where the CSS response is apparently keyed off the 1x status, not both 1x and EVDO.  That should fix your issue.

It won't fix bugfinder's issue though since I still need to figure out the AT commands that return EVDO/1x status for his device, which I've never seen before.

bufinder, sorry to have requested information that's already in the original bug.  nevermind  my request.

I tried today Fedora 11 live cd on my notebook and with this version Huawei modem works perfectly.

Right, because NM 0.7.x in F11 is pretty dumb and just tries to dial without actually checking to see if you have service.  NM 0.7.x has no ability to check if you have service before trying to dial, which caused other problems but obviously works better for you.

ModemManager is a lot smarter (sometimes there are bugs as you've seen) and it's usually able to detect whether you have service, and also often *what* service you have.  This is necessary for good UI display which is coming soon.

I'll be fixing up the Huawei CDMA plugin quite soon for this problem and issuing an update.  Thanks for the reply...

I did yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update NetworkManager and it updated it to NetworkManager-0.7.998-2.git20100106.fc12.i686 but ModemManager isn't the version listed on http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ModemManager-0.3-2.git20100211.fc12

I tried installing the rpms manually but it gave errors

Nevermind, it installed with rpm -Uvh, sorry. I'll test it now.

This update does not fix Bug # 552121.

No, it won't fix 552121 because that device is a ZTE device and this fix is only for Huawei devices.  The ZTE devices require a different fix.

hello all!
would you please indicate me where to download the setup.exe contained in the cd because someone gave me the ec500 data card without the cd.
thanks a lot!
