http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=550584 Summary: qualcomm 9212 3g card not able to be used from networkmanager/modemmanager Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Mobile Devices AssignedTo: mobile-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: eclay@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Consulting I have installed openSUSE 11.1 on a Acer Aspire One netbook A0531h. It has a internal qualcomm 9212 modem that has the firmware loaded and is recognized by qcserial with a /dev/ttyUSB0 created. I have gone into NetworkManager >Manage Connections and add a AT&T mobile broadband connection. I am unable to use it. It doesn't look like momdemmanager/networkmanager recognizes my /dev/ttyUSB0 as a mobile broadband device. I then tried to install a newer version of modemmanager from the gnome factory but it still wouldn't recognize the /dev/ttyUSB0 as a mobile broadband device. fyi-The versions installed with openSUSE 11.2 RC1 will recognize it. What does work on 11.1 is to configure wvdial and execute it from a shell prompt as root. It get's connected with an IPaddress, default route and DNS servers. At least that's what is outputted to the screen by wvdial. At the end it states that no name servers are found in the /etc/resolve.conf file. I am assuming that is because it is managed by networkmanager. If I create a new resolve.conf with a name server in it and copy it to the /etc directory I am able to connect to the internet. So their are two problems. 1. Modemmanager/NetworkManager don't see my device as a mobile broadband and 2. wvdial doesn't add resolvers to the /etc/resolv.conf or networkmanager. More concerned about the 1st issue. If I need to open another bug on the 2nd I will. wvdial output linux-mvpf:/home/edward/Desktop # wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.CINGULAR" AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","ISP.CINGULAR" OK --> Modem initialized. --> Idle Seconds = 300, disabling automatic reconnect. --> Sending: ATDT*99# --> Waiting for carrier.

If I forget to delete the nameserver entry NM connection fail, that is when I disconnect from the wvdial connection and re-enable the NM managed interfaces. -- 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.
