** Description changed:
Trying to connect using a GSM modem that lacks a SIM card does just give
the user a general connection failure message without any hints about
the missing SIM card.
This can fool the user into thinking something other is wrong than the
fact that he forgot to insert the SIM card, or inserted it improperly.
Latest modemmanager master branch gives in log:
Feb 2 20:21:24 marius-T1005 ModemManager[1105]: <warn> Modem couldn't
be initialized: Couldn't check unlock status: SIM failure
but there is no indication to the user (nm-applet behaves as if mobile
- broadband is unavailable)
+ broadband is unavailable).
+
+ Seems I get (from "src/mm-error-helpers.c"):
+
+ { MM_MOBILE_EQUIPMENT_ERROR_SIM_FAILURE,
+ "simfailure", "SIM failure" },
+
+ but should have got:
+
+ { MM_MOBILE_EQUIPMENT_ERROR_SIM_NOT_INSERTED,
+ "simnotinserted", "SIM not inserted" }
+
+ Anyway (any of them should be enough hint to the user), it seems like
+ the error state is not propagated (src/mm-broadband-modem.c):
+
+ static void
+ iface_modem_initialize_ready (MMBroadbandModem *self,
+ GAsyncResult *result,
+ InitializeContext *ctx)
+ {
+ GError *error = NULL;
+
+ /* If the modem interface fails to get initialized, we will move the modem
+ * to a FAILED state. Note that in this case we still export the
interface. */
+ if (!mm_iface_modem_initialize_finish (MM_IFACE_MODEM (self), result,
&error)) {
+ /* Report the new FAILED state */
+ mm_warn ("Modem couldn't be initialized: %s", error->message);
+ g_error_free (error);
+
+ mm_iface_modem_update_state (MM_IFACE_MODEM (self),
+ MM_MODEM_STATE_FAILED,
+ MM_MODEM_STATE_CHANGE_REASON_UNKNOWN);
+
+ /* Jump to the firmware step. We allow firmware switching even in
failed
+ * state */
+ ctx->step = INITIALIZE_STEP_IFACE_FIRMWARE;
+ initialize_step (ctx);
+ return;
+ }
