[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#527892: network-manager: <WARN> new_modem_device(): couldn't find HSO modem network device.

[Paul Menzel]

Subject: network-manager: <WARN>  new_modem_device(): couldn't find HSO modem network device.
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


trying to use mobile broadband after a while it did not work anymore. In
between the last success I think network-manager was upgraded to
0.7.1-1.

The following can be seen in /var/log/daemon.log.

[…]
xxx nm-system-settings:    SCPlugin-Ifupdown: devices added (udi: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_af0_6971_Serial_Number_if0_serial_unknown_0, iface: (null))
xxx NetworkManager: <info>  (ttyHS0): found serial port (udev:GSM  hal:GSM) 
xxx NetworkManager: <WARN>  new_modem_device(): couldn't find HSO modem network device.
[…]

It looks like this issue was brought to the NetworkManager mailing list
[1]. But besides the cause a patch or commit is not given. Could you
provide those compatibility rules?

Some breakage with 0.7.1-1 has already been reported to the Debian BTS,
but 525638 [2] seems to be something different.


Thanks,

Paul
