I have a Novatel U760 CDMA USB wireless internet dongle on the Bell Canada network. NetworkManager recognizes and activates it fine if I plug the dongle in AFTER I have logged in. It does not recognize the device if I plug it in before boot (when the netbook is off). Here are the various workarounds that I have added to make the U760 work: 1. Add this to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi: <!-- Bell USB760--> <match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x1410"> <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x6000"> <match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0"> <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append> <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">IS-707-A</append> </match> </match> </match> 2. Edit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and uncomment the Novatel U760 lines. 3. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and append the following to the line that contains "Novatel_Mass_Storage": RUN+="/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch" 4. Add to /lib/udev/rules.d/77-nm-zzz-custom.rules: # custom rule SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1410", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6000", ENV{ID_NM_MODEM_IS707_A}="1", ENV{ID_NM_MODEM_IS856_A}="1"
Here is the logging info, with the device plugged in at boot time (doesn't work).

Hmm, newer rpms are available. I upgraded, and now nothing works at all. NetworkManager detects the dongle when plugged in after log-in (the icon balls spin), but then it says the network was disconnected. pppd segfaults!

See bug 580709 for the pppd crash backtrace.
So it looks like NM is getting as far as it can (connection is made, PPP started) but PPP dies. Is that correct? If so, then I don't think there's a bug with NM, just with pppd.
Well, the original bug still exists - NM doesn't doesn't detect the modem if it is plugged in at boot time. I just wanted to report what happened after updating the rpms to the latest ones. The pppd crash (for post-login device insertion) does seem to be a separate issue, and I have filed a separate bug with a backtrace (bug 580709). - Mike
Side note: The changes to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi and /lib/udev/rules.d/77-nm-zzz-custom.rules do not appear to be necessary any more. The changes to /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules and are still required. - Mike
Ok, so the issue here is likely mode switching. You may want to try out the latest usb-modeswitch packages for F12 here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/usb_modeswitch-1.1.2-3.fc12 It may be that the rules you manually added don't get run at the right time.
Updating usb_modeswitch doesn't help anything. ppp still dies on me as described above and in bug 580709. I have: ppp-2.4.5-8.fc13.i686 usb_modeswitch-1.1.2-3.fc13.i686 NetworkManager-0.8.0-4.git20100325.fc13.i686 - Mike
Ok, so just to clarify, if you *do* use usb_modeswitch, the device gets recognized, just that pppd segfaults while connecting? BTW, without usb_modeswitch, how many tty ports does the device expose? 'ls /dev/ttyUSB*' should tell you, but be aware that not all of those may come from the U760 so you may want to check whcih (if any) exist, then plug in, then figure out how many. Then, if you modeswitch, does the number of ttys provided by the U760 change?
I don't think usb_modeswitch is an issue here. I can use usb_modeswitch, or I can use the "old" method of adding "RUN+="/usr/bin/eject %k" to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to force the U760 out of storage mode and into modem mode. Either way, pppd segfaults (bug580709). When I first submitted this bug, pppd did not segfault, but the connection would not activate if the U760 was plugged in at boot time. It was OK if you plugged it in during a user session. Right now, I don't know if the U760 works if plugged in at at boot time, because the pppd segfault is crippling everything and the connection never works. Sorry if this is confusing, but that's how the saga is unfolding... The U760 always exposes ttyUSB0-ttyUSB3. - Mike
OK, I have worked around my pppd segfault. The U760 now works fine if plugged in after login. It still doesn't work if plugged in at boot time. Some log snippets are below for the device-installed-at-boot case. I notice that usb_modeswitch is never called in these logs. It is called when the U760 is installed after login. Is that a clue? Why would the udev rule not be called? - Mike Jun 1 14:24:36 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=1410, idProduct=6000 Jun 1 14:24:36 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=4 Jun 1 14:24:36 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: Product: Novatel Wireless CDMA Jun 1 14:24:36 localhost kernel: usb 2-2: Manufacturer: Novatel Wireless Inc.

Could be that the udev rules for usb_modeswitch aren't quite correct here...
Word on the street has it that perhaps libusb is not yet available at boot time, and usb_modeswitch requires it. libusb is in /usr/lib and that may not be mounted yet by the time udev triggers these rules? Just a thought.
Did those hoopy froods on the street say how that could be fixed?
Previous versions of usb_modeswitch were not boot-proof at all. Most energy went into making devices usable after plugging into a running system. I believe the new version 1.1.4 is working well at boot time now. I added a waiting loop which checks if the /usr tree is up and fixed the wrapper script to get along with a read-only file system. Yes, I should have done that earlier ... It goes without saying that the RUN action of usb_modeswitch returns immediately (as it always did) and all further processing steps are detached so any waiting before and during the switching process is not blocking rule evaluation in any way. I tested extensively with Fedora 13 and five other distributions. Josua Dietze
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. 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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
