Description of problem: This modem has both GSM and CMDA capability. This is a ModemManager bug already fixed upstream. ModemManager can't handle Pantech dual-radio modems properly, and only tolerates the GSM portion which will not operate in the US. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ModemManager-0.4.0-3.git20100628.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in UMW190 modem 2. Eject the CD device it creates Actual results: NetworkManager/ModemManager sets up device as GSM and it can't be switched to CDMA Expected results: The modem should allow user to override and choose CDMA setup, or detect device properly.

Can this be considered for 6.2 or be marked for 6.3?
This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Also, proper support for this device would also require adding its IDs to the 'qcaux' driver in the kernel, so we can get signal strength and registration state while the device is connected using PPP on the primary TTY.
Created attachment 599465 [details] Allow users to prefer CDMA mode on multimode devices via /etc/mm-multimode-prefer-cdma Touching /etc/mm-multimode-prefer-cdma will make the modems be recognized as CDMA devices instead of GSM.
Hah, ok, for the RHEL6 kernel qcaux doesn't exist. I suppose we can add the USB IDs for these devices to option, but backporting qcaux might be a better choice in the long run. But that's for the kernel team to decide.
