Bug Description

Hi - I tried the release version of Karmic with JBM, and JBM doesn't seem to identify the modem correctly. Despite having no knowledge of python, I have made a change to jbm_detect.py, and it now works (my modified version)

(vendor, device) = line[-9:].split(":") is changed to (vendor, device) = line.split()[5].split(":")

You will have to bear with me, this is my first exposure to python - you may have to change it if it is not the right way to do it.

I have been away, and then updating all my systems, and I was going to update my doco with karmic as well, but I will include what I have until I have time to update it. I was going to put in a big troubleshooting guide as well, as well as for the karmic version.

Keep up the good work.

I think you have an old release this bug was fixed in the last release.

The document looks good for the most part.

One thing I think I would change is the installation location, installing software in the users home directory is generally not good form. I would install it to "/opt/jbm", this allows for multiple users with different configurations and keeps software separate from users documents.

As a side note a users home directory is usually referenced as "~/" so for instance jbm's settings are stored in "~/.jbm" rather then "/root/.jbm".

I've also sent you a message with my email address so we can go over the document with out posting more error reports ;)

Cheers, Jon Estey
