Title:
ModemManager uses a wrong plugin for Dell DW5818/5819
Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Since linux-4.4.0-98, the kernel additionally load gcserial driver for
Dell Wireless DW5818/5819. The reason behind it is to support firmware
switching and upgrading. However, the change makes ModemManager to use
Gobi plugin for this two modules. With Gobi plugin, the modules could
establish data links, but it failed to retrieve the signal state. And
it caused the mmcli and nm-applet giving wrong signal strength. The
modules support the MBIM protocol, so ModemManager should use Dell
plugin for these two modules.
I have worked out a patch to forbid these two modules in Gobi plugin,
and it does work well.
