Apologies if this is too distro-specific for this list, but I'm reasonably sure it's an upstream issue ...
I've just updated from, NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-3.fc10 to, NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10.i386 and my Dell 5530 (aka Ericsson F3705g) has stopped working. With the earlier release NetworkManager would recognize four devices (/dev/ttyUSB[0,2,4,10]) as having GSM modem capabilities and the NM applet would consequently present four mobile broadband devices to connect with. Of these only /dev/ttyUSB2 and /dev/ttyUSB4 appeared to actually correspond to the modem, but selecting the the NM applet menu entries in turn would very reliably produce a functional connection and ppp session. With the more recent release the same four devices are detected, but only one menu entry is presented, which always seems to correspond to the device's GPS capability on /dev/ttyUSB10 and consequently NetworkManager always fails attempting to use the device as a modem. So two questions ... * What information can I provide to help get this device supported properly? * Is there a temporary workaround I can use which would allow me to short-circuit the modem probe and force NetworkManager to choose a particular device?
