Comment 21 for bug 384344

Another couple of things.

One is about what your comment, Naveen, on two cards having same id and vendor but being reported as having different capabilities, GSM and CDMA. Well, my card is a CDMA one, I'm positive about that, however NM reports it as GSM. I can only make a guess, fruit of my ignorance: maybe the NM report is related to the couple device+SIM? Thus, if we have a CDMA capable device but our ISP is only providing us GSM, might it be possible that NM reported GSM? Sorry if I'm talking nonsense, but the fact is that NM reports my card as GSM (while it's CDMA), and that presently I'm only getting GPRS connection from my ISP (I believe I might have exceeded the download limit above which they cut down the 3G speed to 2G). That might explain your case, Naveen, and I hope it explains mine! Because the other explanation I can think of is that, somehow, I've managed to damage my card (in one of those hotplugging-computer freezing-hotunplugging cycles). But would it still work?

The other thing is more related with the bug itself: after upgrading network-manager to version 0.7.2, now I don't get the
ID_NM_MODEM_GSM=1
but only the
ID_NM_MODEM_PROBED=1
when "nm-modem-probing" it
