Comment 19 for bug 384344

Oops.. spoke too soon. I am able to get this working, but there is a catch.

- In option.c, if I *replace*
#define ZTE_PRODUCT_AC8710 0xfff1
with
#define ZTE_PRODUCT_AC8710 0xffff
then, the modem is detected by NM/MM.

- if, however, I *add*
#define ZTE_PRODUCT_AC8710_1 0xffff
then, the modem won't be detected by NM/MM.

So, it seems there is some magic associated with the #define name

As an aside, in NM, if I select my service provider [India->Tata Indicom Photon+], the username and password fields are not filled in by default nor am I prompted to fill those. This results in CHAP failing. Would be nice to get those filled in by default (internet/internet).

So far, so good - thanks, Piankhi. Though this technique is much harder to follow for newer kernels unless accepted by ubuntu/upstream...
