Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Ubuntu 10.10 i386

Olicard 200 usb 3g Modem, when inserted usb_modeswith works fine because this modem use the same switch of Olicard 145:

# Olivetti Olicard 145
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b3c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f000", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

but for recognize modem i have to load usbserial manually:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0b3c product=0xc005

after that nothing happens, modem led sometimes hang (on green) but doesn't work.

I don't know if is a usbserial module problem or modem-manager problem.

i try with trunk version of network-manager but it's the same.

Generally, you should use the "option" driver instead of "usb-serial" which "should not be used directly for *anything*" (quote from the Linux USB mailing list).

If usb_modeswitch works properly you should not have to load this driver manually - it should be done by the usb_modeswitch wrapper script. Feel free to file a bug or get involved at the usb_modeswitch home site.

Anyway, to load the driver manually for your modem do:
# modprobe option
# echo "0b3c c005" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

If the workaround works on 10.10, will the device work out of the box on the upcoming Ubuntu 11.04 ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Natty Narwhal. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
