(openSUSE 11.0 and previous beta versions of 11.1 did mount it - hence I was surprised by beta5.) But to more important thing: after inserting the card into the express slot it is NOT switched to the modem mode automatically. I can see it when I launch umtsmon. This program then makes call to usb_modeswitch which switches the card. So, just after inserting the card, this device is in (for me) some strange state which is neither a mounted device nor a modem device. This is what surprises me. Please see my lshal outputs: before inserting the card, after inserting etc. In addition I attach also umtsmon output. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks! After inserting the datacard a small popup window appears as it should. But I ignore it and just look to /media and see the ZeroCD item there. Also other problem was solved: now when I insert a usb stick it is immediatelly mounted as /media/disk and no action like "Open in Dolphin" is required to mount the usb device. It was annoying for me to open a usb stick files in Dolphin because I usually need just command line to copy or move files. If you want to see lshal outputs now I am attaching them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

LiveCD GNOME: when booted with the card, no item is shown in /media when the card is inserted after boot, device is shown in /media LiveCD KDE4: when booted with card, behaviour is random: in my first attempt the device was shown in Device Notifier (but no item in /media directory) In my second attempt (reboot with the card) there was not any item neither in Device Notifier nor (of course) in /media dir. When I unplug the card and plug it in I can see the item ZeroCd in Device Notifier (but not in /media). Clicking to Device Notifier I can mount the device as /media/ZeroCD . In summary, situation looks to be unsatisfactory. Please look on Comment 10 of this report. It reports on situation with a version 0.5.12-28.2 of hal and in that case it worked for me. I add also some lshal outputs. If you want outputs also under some different conditions let me know. Finally, I am pretty disappointed by the fact that umtsmon program is missing on the live media. (I will report it although I have already reported missing usb_modeswitch in previous versions.) It is useless to have usb_modeswitch available without having umtsmon.

Finally, I am pretty disappointed by the fact that umtsmon program is missing on the live media.

umtsmon is not supported on 11.1 anymore since NetworkManager is supposed to handle 3G devices.

It is useless to have usb_modeswitch available without having umtsmon. At least for average users who do not know some tricks.

Average users will be better suited by NetworkManager. At least that's the plan ;) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tested it in a live CD Gnome session on my 32-bit notebook. (I have not installed final openSUSE 11.1 on my hard drive yet - I plan to do it later in January.) More details: When I first insert the "Zero CD" datacard into the PC express slot and then start the machine, there is no item in /media directory. When I first boot the machine and then plug in the datacard, it is detected by the system and I can see the ZeroCD item after issuing the command "ls /media". Also, a window pops up asking what to do with the device. I will also attach two lshal outputs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The system was booted from openSUSE 11.1 GNOME Live CD i686. The card is as previously Option GlobeTrotter Express 7.2 .
