[Bug 392600] New: NetworkManager / UMTS: cannot enter PIN code with Sierra Wireless card
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=392600 Summary: NetworkManager / UMTS: cannot enter PIN code with Sierra Wireless card Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: tambet@novell.com ReportedBy: seife@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: gp@novell.com, michl@novell.com, zoz@novell.com Found By: Development If i try dialing in with my sierra wireless MC8775, nm-applet keeps asking me for my PIN forever. Turns out that this card needs the PIN entering process on the second port (ttyUSB2), on the first port (ttyUSB0) it only returns "ERROR".

Currently, there are no workarounds for any quirks in NetworkManager. It's not really decided yet how to solve these issues. Not sure yet if HAL should mark non standard devices with some special attributes or to handle that in NM. Also, having workarounds for all the different cards in the world makes the code totally unmaintainable, so we're looking into using some out of band implementation or making NM pluggable so that every non standard device can have it's own plugin. Something that happens after 0.7 (and opensuse 11.0). -- 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.

Mai 00:19 /dev/ttyUSB0 -> /dev/ttyUSB2 And this works fine! But there is no way that you can get signal strength while connected with this setup (the website says that all AT commands should go via ttyUSB2 and pppd connections should go via ttyUSB0. But beware - if you run pppd on ttyUSB0, the "atdt*99#" also must go on ttyUSB0. We fell into that trap with umtsmon ;) So how to proceed? Do we need to fix this in HAL? In NM? In both? -- 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.

Danny and me have the same card (hp hs2300, a relabeled sierra wireless) in very similar machines (mine is a hp 2510p, danny's is a 2710p). And now for the good part: - my machine has ttyUSB2 as "command" and ttyUSB0 as "ppp" port - dannys machine has it the other way round. See also http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200807181937.19707.dkukawka%40suse.de&forum_name=umtsmon-develop In umtsmon we solved it by querying the ports with "ATI" and parsing the answer (it is different on both ports). However, this looks out of scope for NetworkManager. Danny, could we add a small helper to HAL that probes the ports of such cards and then assigns the ports correctly (instead of statically adding them via a FDI file)? Then NetworkManager can just use the corresponding tags on the ports to select which port to use for PIN entering and for ppp. -- 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.

It might be something that is done for SLE12, depending on if it becomes something that is a large problem. For now, HAL has been handling these kinds of things (which port is which), and Device Kit in the future might be the better place for it. As for persistant names, yes, that can be done with a simple udev rule, but again, you don't know which port to name what ahead of time, so it is a case-by-case basis right now.

Look at /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi for how to define your specific device and the port of which it is attached to.
Greg, this is not helpful. We do not know what to match on to distinguish the Data from the Control port. Hint: the serial.port property is not useful. We have the same card which is once ttyUSB0=data ttyUSB2=control and the other one is ttyUSB0=control and ttyUSB2=data. What do we need to match on? Is there a usb descriptor or anyhting? Danny: the lsusb would also be helpful, so that we can diff against Holgi's. -- 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.
