[Bug 287147] Re: knetworkmanager only sees usb gsm modem if it's plugged in before boot

[Cristian Arezzini]

I found a way to have KNetworkManager dynamically recognize my USB modem:
I edited the file
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi' or su -c 'kwrite /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi
and added this section:

[code]
      <!-- New Device -->
      <match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x05c6">
        <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x3100">
          <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">modem</append>
	  <append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">IS-707-A</append>
        </match>
      </match>
[/code]

Now KNetworkManager correctly detects the modem when it's plugged in, at
any time, and displays it as ttyACM0. But if I click on the connection
under it in the KNetworkManager menu, NetworkManager crashes. A dmesg
gives this message:


[  342.801146] NetworkManager[6375]: segfault at 10 ip 0807ea98 sp bfbaf990 error 4 in NetworkManager[8048000+5e000]

Any idea why it crashes so badly?
