[Bug 293709] New: 10.3 Alpha 6 breaks CDMA modem connetion
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293709 Summary: 10.3 Alpha 6 breaks CDMA modem connetion Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clarkt@cnsp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer This worked in 10.3 A5, but broke in A6. Verizon pcie CDMA/EVDO aircard is properly identified when inserted. Using Yast to setup the card on /dev/ttyUSB0 creates a link /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyUSB0. Using NM to attempt to connect dials the modem but it never connects. The same occurs with kinternet. On reboot, the link /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyUSB0 is gone. Yast shows that the modem is configured. The link is recreated when you run through the edit of the modem and provider but make no changes. -- 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 expect this feature it's a left-over in Yast from the time /dev files didn't vanish on reboot. Today, nothing should use such simple symlinks, they will break when other serial hardware is connected or disconnected from the system. There are only convenience links for optical drives like /dev/cdrom, but udev doesn't do this for any other sybsystem, and has no knowledge about modems. NetworkManager + Software using HAL should be able to find modems without relying on symlinks in /dev. If that doesn't work, udev rules that match exactly the device need to be created, which maintain a /dev/modem symlink. Udev itself can not do this, it doesn't know which serial device is a modem, just pointing to a (random) USB serial device isn't sufficient. -- 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.

However, NM can be told to hang up the modem and it shows that it has but it hasn't. After this has occurred, attempts to reconnect, NM show the modem icon, but the NM log does not have any entry. -- 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.

For activation and deactivation, it only calls '/sbin/ifup modem0' and '/sbin/ifdown modem0' respectively. Can you please try to run these commands from terminal (as root) and let me know if the behavior is the same.
