The support for regular landline modems is never likely to be added. The main reason is that there's no real way of detecting these modems for HAL. Additionally, most (all?) of the regular modems these days are softmodems which need proprietary drivers and thus will never work out of box. That all said though, if someone proves me wrong and implements modem detection in HAL, I'd be glad to add support to NetworkManager. -- 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 "-> Usability" remark is funny, it would reduce usability, not improve it. The problems with what we had before 11.0 were that NM just lanuched something. There was no communication between the process and NM, so it was impossible to know if it succeeded, when the connection was estabilished, when it dropped, ... Additionally, with a hack like that, NM could not change it's state (so if it was the only connection, NM's state would stay "not activated") since there wasn't any device to mark as active, and all the applications that use NM would still be in offline state. -- 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'm well aware of NM goals and I described it in detail what needs to happen to support modems in comment #4. -- 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.

Not everyone has access to wireless or broadband networks.. -- 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.
