Created an attachment (id=298590) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=298590) [details] Proposed fixed package
Please try this package.
OK, I'm testing it. Please wait for more details, but my first experiences are: OK the positive site it seems to handle (and thus present to NetworkManager) only /dev/ttyHS0, which is the working one for me. It omits /dev/ttyHS1, which is good for me, since I won't be confused by the two, virtually identical connections, amongst which only one works. This is good, but that one port still works just as unreliable as before. I suspect that this unreliability somehow may be related to the quality of the network, but the windows web'n'walk client almost always connects succesfully for the first time, while I have to fiddle 5-15 minutes with Linux in order to get connected to the net. A typical scenario: I plug in the stick, and in a few seconds, two options appear in gnome's nm-applet: the name of a preconfigured (by me) connection, and "properties" for the virtual serial port it will use to connect. (With earlyer versions there were two conection and two properties options, and I used the properties do discover which is the appropriate port for me, to scn available networks, and to initiate registering to the network before actually connecting). Now, when I click onto the connection option, the first attemt to connect is ALWAYS unsuccessful. However, properties won't work at all until this first attemt, so I have to attempt connecting first. Then I may attemt to connect again, but it almost always fails. At this point I usually use the "properties" option, which registers to the network, but not connects. I have to wait approximately one minute in this registered state which makes it much more probable that I will be able to connect (however, I mustn't close the properties window during using the net, because that would immediately break my connection). However, sometimes it's impossible to connect even despite being registered for a few time before attempting connection, and I have to restart everthing. A almost always have to restart this whole procedure, and ModemManager mostly stucks in, still showing the virtual serial port to networkmanager (in spite of the fact that the USB stick is already pulled out), and consuming 100% CPU time, so I have to restart everything like this: /etc/init.d/network stop ; killall modem-manager ; modprobe -r hso ; /etc/init.d/network start So, there seems to be no improvement in this area yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
