Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic

After using usb_modeswitch, USB modem appears as:

Only way to get /dev/ttyUSB* to appear is:
/bin/echo "19d2 0064" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

Hi frogzoo,

Can you try the latest Karmic 9.10 Alpha release - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ . The reason I ask is that is has a much newer 2.6.31 based kernel and it looks like support for this device has been added to the option driver:

ogasawara@yoji:~/ubuntu-karmic/drivers/usb/serial$ grep -rn "0x0064" option.c
556: { USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(ZTE_VENDOR_ID, 0x0064, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff) },

Please log this as a bug against modemmanager:

On latest Koala, 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:53:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

can get this modem to work, as follows:

add the following rule to /lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-zte-port-types.rules:
ATTRS{idProduct}=="2000", ENV{.MM_USBIFNUM}=="03", ENV{ID_MM_ZTE_PORT_TYPE_MODEM}="1"
ATTRS{idProduct}=="2000", ENV{.MM_USBIFNUM}=="01", ENV{ID_MM_ZTE_PORT_TYPE_AUX}="1"

then change the connection setting in network-manager: right click nm applet -> "Edit Connections..." -> Mobile Broadband -> This Connection -> Edit -> ipv4 Settings:
Change the default setting of "automatic (ppp) Addresses Only" to "automatic (ppp)"

Still need to eject the modem on insertion, but from there everything works automatically.

Still doesn't work quite as intended - every 2nd insertion negotiates ppp IP address/gateway etc. but no DNS.
