The device in use in Huawei EC1260. It should be handled by ModemManager and NetworkManager in Fedora 15 already; it appears that MM is not able to find a second port to query for the current access technology (ie EVDO vs. 1X). Here are some steps you can do to help isolate the issue: in a root terminal: 1) mv /usr/sbin/modem-manager / 2) killall -TERM modem-manager 3) /modem-manager --debug 4) connect, wait 30 seconds or so, and copy the output from the terminal running modem-manager into a reply to this mail To get back: 1) Ctrl+C to kill modem-manager 2) mv /modem-manager /usr/sbin/modem-manager and you should be good.
