Network Manager detect 2 insted 1 modem entry for ZTE MF 636

[Cleber Santz]

  Network Manager detect ZTE 3G Modem MF 636 with 2 entries in NM-APPLET ( ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 ), this devices not appear always in the same order in the applet and if try connect using ttyUSB1 the USB Modem is disconnect from the computer and must unplug/plug it to get this work again.

  In fedora 11 (Leonidas) this device appear in NW-APPLET with only one entry, so can connect it directly. In Ubuntu i most watch syslog to check what order that devices appear to connect with ttyUSB2.

i think this is fixed in 0.7.1 ... or in latest 0.7 branch snapshot. Could you please test the NM from the ~network-manager PPA and let us know if that fixes your problem?

[Cleber Santz (clebersantz)]

  Well, with NM from ~network-managet PPA fix but i can't connect anymore. Debug attached.

The same problem occurs in Karmic 9.10 with NM 0.7.1, show only one entry in NM-APPLET but cannot connect.

I am using Karmic, NM 0.7.996. I plug in ZTE, have set up a mobile broadband connection, the light on the ZTE turns blue, but the connection icon does not show in the NM. I have just upgraded from Jaunty, where the ZTE worked well for me.

in ubuntu 10.04 the problem fixed. just connect the modem and couple of minutes - thats it.

Marking Fix Released for the ubuntu package as well : as per the previous comment, it works in 10.04, and I can confirm that for Maverick and Natty as well with my own ZTE MF636.
