2009-04-28 12:35:19 Motin description Binary package hint: network-manager This is so frustrating, loosing internet connection frequently: Modem connection (and thus the current ppp connection) with the Dell XPS M1330 internal UMTS / HSDPA modem silently drops dead at times (around 1-4 hours after connection, sometimes 8-10 hours afterwards, sometimes 0.5h etc - very randomly it seems, but certain for sure), with no other choice than to suspend and resume the laptop to be able to connect again. Not a favorable workaround since suspend fails around 1 time of 10... At times that I just have noticed the internet connection dropping dead I have looked in syslog, kern.log and dmesq for a trace of that something particular was logged, but find nothing at all... I tried enabling debug options in ppp option, but the connection process stops before even attempting a ppp connection. All I can come up with atm is a serial log for when it is not successful: NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 1 -> 2 NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): deactivating device (reason: 2). NetworkManager: nm_system_device_flush_ip4_routes_with_iface: assertion `iface_idx >= 0' failed NetworkManager: nm_system_device_flush_ip4_addresses_with_iface: assertion `iface_idx >= 0' failed NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 2 -> 3 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) starting connection '3' NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): device state change: 3 -> 4 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) scheduled...

Binary package hint: network-manager Short version: Modem communication drops to a non-working state at seemlingly random times. In that state, serial communication times out. If the driver is reloaded and Network Manager restarted, nm doesn't detect mobile broadband capabilities: Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps nm-system-settings: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_413c_8138_Novatel_Wireless_HSDPA_Modem_if0_serial_usb_0, iface: (null)): iface not found Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB1): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev: hal:GSM) Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): ignoring due to lack of probed mobile broadband capabilties Only a suspend+resume cycle resets the modem to a working state again: Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev:GSM hal:GSM) Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): new Modem device (driver: 'option') Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): exported as /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_413c_8138_Novatel_Wireless_HSDPA_Modem_if0_serial_usb_0 And the modem can be used as usual. Long version (the attachments is in a comment below): This is so frustrating, loosing internet connection frequently. Modem communication (and thus the current ppp connection) with the Dell XPS M1330 internal UMTS / HSDPA modem silently drops dead at times (around 1-4 hours after connection, sometimes 8-10 hours afterwards, sometimes 0.5h etc - very randomly it seems, but certain for sure), with no other choice than to suspend and resume the laptop to be able to connect again. (Not a favorable workaround since suspend fails around 1 time of 10...) At times that I just have noticed the internet connection dropping dead I have looked in syslog, kern.log and dmesq for a trace of that something particular was logged, but find nothing at all... I tried enabling debug options in ppp option, but the connection process stops before even attempting a ppp connection. In the failed state, without reloading the option-drivers, I performed a nm serial debug log NetworkManager: <debug> [1240826372.112830] nm_serial_device_open(): (ttyUSB0) opening device... NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.

HOWEVER, this is just the tip of the ice berg, symptoms of deeper issues it seems. Here is a full debug session initiated after I detected that internet had stopped working: motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe -r option FATAL: Module option is in use. motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo killall pppd motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo killall pppd motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo killall -s9 pppd motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo killall -s9 pppd pppd: ingen process avslutad motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe -r option FATAL: Module option is in use. motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop * Stopping network connection manager NetworkManager [ OK ] motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe -r option motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe option In syslog: Apr 28 13:27:42 motin-xps kernel: [46986.836054] option 4-2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected Apr 28 13:27:42 motin-xps kernel: [46986.836208] usb 4-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Apr 28 13:27:42 motin-xps kernel: [46986.836243] option 4-2:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected Apr 28 13:27:42 motin-xps kernel: [46986.836345] usb 4-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1 motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start * Starting network connection manager NetworkManager [ OK ] In syslog: Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps nm-system-settings: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_413c_8138_Novatel_Wireless_HSDPA_Modem_if0_serial_usb_0, iface: (null)): iface not found Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB1): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev: hal:GSM) Apr 28 13:28:28 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): ignoring due to lack of probed mobile broadband capabilties motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /lib/udev/nm-modem-probe --verbose --export /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 L: main(): (/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0): usb-vid 0x0000 usb-pid 0x0000 usb-intf 0 driver '(null)' L: main(): probing /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 ^C (I had to manually break this as it never seems to finish) motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop * Stopping network connection manager NetworkManager [ OK ] motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /lib/udev/nm-modem-probe --verbose --export /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 L: main(): (/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0): usb-vid 0x0000 usb-pid 0x0000 usb-intf 0 driver '(null)' L: main(): probing /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 ^C motin@motin-xps:~$ udevadm info --query=all --path=/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB0 --attribute-walk > udevadm-ttyUSB0-info.txt motin@motin-xps:~$ lshal > lshal.txt motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo bash -c "echo Y > /sys/module/option/parameters/debug" motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe -r option motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo modprobe option debug=Y Here I assembled syslog output into the attached option-debug-output-during-modprobe-in-non-working-state.txt motin@motin-xps:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start * Starting network connection manager NetworkManager [ OK ] Apr 28 13:38:40 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev: hal:GSM) Apr 28 13:38:40 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): ignoring due to lack of probed mobile broadband capabilties Apr 28 13:38:40 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB1): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties Here I performed a suspend + resume With the following logs: syslog-suspend.log syslog-resume-up-until-device-correctly-probed.log And now in syslog it clearly shows that it works again: Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): found serial port (udev:GSM hal:GSM) Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): new Modem device (driver: 'option') Apr 28 13:51:27 motin-xps NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB0): exported as /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_413c_8138_Novatel_Wireless_HSDPA_Modem_if0_serial_usb_0 Where is the bug occuring?
