[Bug 584457] [NEW] modem-manager connect problem

Binary package hint: modemmanager

There are two problems in modem-manager (0.3-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu v10.04).

1) If the carrier signal is lost, i.e. there is a spot with no GSM/UMTS
signal, modem-manager doesn't remove itself from memory and doesn't
accept a new connection before it is removed.

gksu "killall -TERM modem-manager"

After that network-manager is able to connect again.

2) My "Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem" requires the
"+CFUN=1" command (reboot software) every time it is used to ensure a
proper function. In my local debug copy I had put the command in "src
/mm-generic-gsm.c"'s "init_done"-function before the rest of the
initiation.

mm_serial_port_queue_command (port, "+CFUN=1", 10, NULL, NULL);

---

Conclusion: If I kill modem-manager when the  not working and put
"+CFUN=1" in its initiation, modem-manager is working as expected.

Is it possible for modem-manager to send a term-signal to itself when
the carrier is lost? Then we would have a much better working modem-
manager and you don't require reboot on network failure.
