Public bug reported:
Despite many similar modems being included in the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi file, this one
is not. This means that this modem cannot be used with network-manager
This is easily fixed by adding something similar to the following to the
above file (Note that this is my fix which I created as a new file in
/etc/hal/fdi/information)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.category" string="serial">
<!-- Sierra Wireless -->
<match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x1199">
<!-- AirCard 880 U -->
<match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int_outof="0x6855">
<match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0">
<match key="serial.port" int="0">
<append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">GSM-07.07</append>
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Pardon me if there are any obviously better ways of doing this, I've
only just been finding out how this works.
