Bug Description

According to http://alandoyle.com/2010/03/11/tether-nokia-5800-as-a-3g-modem-on-ubuntu/
one has to attach the phone using USB, choose "PC-Suite" and voila, it works.

I and another guy are getting this in dmesg instead:

Hi Ralf,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I found out that the problem was due to a missing "modemmanager" package and NOT due to the kernel.

I am experiencing the very same error connecting a Nokia E73 (branded, T-Mobile USA) to a stock Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation on 32-bit (AMD Athlon XP) system. Connecting the phone causes the ttyACM0 device to appear, but setserial cannot read the port (I assume it should?):

$ sudo setserial /dev/ttyACM0
Cannot get serial info: Invalid argument

wvdialconf finds the port and tried to communicate, but cannot:

ttyACM0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyACM0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyACM0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

and this is what dmesg shows:

Additionally, the Network Manager menu never shows any Mobile Broadband connections that I go ahead and configure anyway. But perhaps this hinges on proper communication with the port? I've never used Network Manager and so don't know.

The big problem is that modemmanager was *always* installed...although I did try reinstalling it over itself. The only notable difference between my setup and Ralf's would appear to be my additional use of Gnome PPP to support a dialup connection.

There are more processes going on here than I am used to troubleshooting, so I would appreciate your feedback. I was debating whether to open a new ticket or append to this one. But let me know if you'd prefer that approach. And as my only broadband connection is on the E73, I am hoping for a fix-in-place solution instead of downloading tens of megabytes of new components. So what else would you like to know? Thanks!!!

When I didn't get a reply to the above, I opened a "question" ticket at https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/127856. I also tracked down the ModemManager developers at http://www.betavine.net . After a few exchanges, I managed to fix the problem myself, and Nicholas @ Betavine asked me to sum up my findings in a Wiki. See http://www.betavine.net/datacards/index.php/Connecting_Nokia_Handsets_to_Linux for absolutely everything I know about this problem. Assuming I don't finally figure out this whole mess myself, I'm sure some Linux-friendly people from Nokia will have an answer for you.
