Public bug reported: After Upgrading from xenial to zesty and further on to artful UMTS connection through GOBI2000 modem stopped working. It is an issue of modemmanager and network-manager.
First modemmanager now reports type as "gsm" and no more "wwan" so the filter in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed- devices.conf should be updated to unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan,except:type:gsm Second, the gobi plugin of modemmanager was removed in end of 2015. Versions below 1.6.12 do not work with GOBI2000 devices. This bug has been filed here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104795 Tried the proposed solution to compile version 1.6.12 from source on artfuland it works. Please update modemmanager to version 1.6.12 in Ubuntu. ** Affects: modemmanager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1745580 Title: UMTS-Modem GOBI2000 not connecting in 17.04 and above To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/1745580/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
