Description loprets 2012-09-28 10:24:02 UTC
Description of problem:

The 0.6.0.0 version of ModemManager seems to have gone into production prematurely, . After a yum upgrade and reboot my internal Samsung USB modem doesn't get to work anymore. nm-applet starts showing the PIN dialog for the fraction of a second just to hide it after for a couple of seconds, then continuing with "blinking" with the dialog again. Manually unbinding the device with 
echo -n "1-7" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
stops the blinking but the device is neither shown in network manager applet before (even during the blinking) or after the unbinding.

Downgrading back to previous version 0.5.2.0 fixed this, so the bug must have entered modem manager with this update:
yum downgrade ModemManager
...
---> Package ModemManager.i686 0:0.5.2.0-1.fc17 will be a downgrade
---> Package ModemManager.i686 0:0.6.0.0-1.fc17 will be erased

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ModemManager.i686 0:0.5.2.0-1.fc17




How reproducible:

Fedora 17 XFCE 
Internal Samsung modem (USB)


 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just after login, the network manager applet starts "blinking" the PIN entry dialog but never shows modem in nm-applet.



  
Actual results:
blinking PIN entry dialog that doesn't actually take the PIN
nm-applet doesn't display modem




Expected results:
enter PIN after login and select UMTS provider for modem to dial up with

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 22:03:05 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'.

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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

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.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-31 23:39:08 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 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.
