The fact that the 3g switch is becoming active yet can not be enabled means that the kernel is recognizing the device but connman is having issues opening and initializing the device. Carrick just issues a request to enable down to connman, and I believe you are seeing that call eventually timeout so that Carrick corrects the state of the switch back to 'off'.
The key connman people might not respond quickly to this mailing list, but will respond to the connman project mailing list: http://lists.connman.net/listinfo/connman ... and there is also activity on the freenode #connman irc channel. But... to get good debug information, you need kill the current connmand and run another instance from the command line like: $ sudo killall connmand $ sudo MBM_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/connmand -n -d The MBM_DEBUG will allow you to see the set of AT commands sent to the modem (which is probably all that is needed to figure out why this isn't working), and the -d option will turn on a all debugging (so be ready for a flood of info.) Also... In the past we had a kernel issue where opening the tty node would block when we didn't expect it to block, which resulted in all other mbm operations failing. I haven't been working on 3g recently and no longer have any 3g hw so I'm not up to speed on the latest greatest fixes, but please be sure and yum update to pull any kernel updates in. One more helpful bit of info... we package the connman test scripts in /usr/lib/connman/test, which is what Marcel and the rest of the connman gang normally want to see data from. For example, you can see the state of the 3g device via /usr/lib/connman/test/list-devices, and attempt to explicitly enable the 3g technology via '/usr/lib/connman/test/test-connman enable cellular'. --rusty On Sun, 2009-10-18 at 09:35 -0700, istvan.szege...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I tested moblin2.1 preview image with Dell Mini 9 HSPA 5530 3g mini > card but to no avail.
