Can someone clarify to what extent NM is supposed to detect MB modems "by
itself", or otherwise rely on the OS (HAL etc)?
I had to do some tweaking to get NM to work with the USB modem I purchased
recently, which I kinda took as par for the course, but ideally this
shouldn't be necessary. So I guess something is not up to date for this
particular modem, but I'm not sure whether it's the default OS config
(Ubuntu in my case) or NM.
The modem is a ZTE MF627, sold by "3" in the UK. It's a "zero-CD" device,
and I had to install and configure usb_modeswitch, then add two udev rules
to make it switch to modem mode and then modprobe usbserial. Finally it
needed a .fdi file for HAL to make NM recognise it as a modem. Should NM be
able to handle all this itself? If so how do these definitions get added?
