I am having occasional suspend resume problems with

0.7~~svn20081008t224042-0ubuntu3~nm1~hardy2

for some reason the wireless comes up as eth1. where is the interface information stored (it does not seem to be in /etc/network/interface).

Which of the known issues are fixed at this time?

While it might be good to have some of what is in mozilla-devscripts, I really doubt we need or even want most of what it contains in debian.

resume crashes should be fixed in latest PPA upload:

I really like the new provider wizard: however, it provides faulty information for my provider – the correct info is already on the Wiki page. It also defaults to GPRS which is not clear until actually editing the connection.

Where and how do I report this, so it’s handled appropriately? The projects on launchpad does not seem to allow bug reports, probably for a good reason.

Since yesterday’s updates, my NetworkManager doesn’t survive a suspend/resume cycle anymore.

asac: I noticed while playing with a Nokia 5310 that hal doesn’t recognise “usb.product_id” for the phone unless i write it in base 10 (Decimal).

It appears hal won’t recognise usb.product_ids of LESS THAN three hexadecimal digits. Does anyone else get that behaviour? Specifically, whoever added the entry for the Nokia E71 to hal-info

So knetworkmanager0.7 is at least partially working for people? I’ve installed the latest knetworkmanager version available in hardy:
1:0.7svn830754-0ubuntu1~hardy1
and it won’t touch wireless networks. It connects to wired networks just fine, but seems to not even try when I ask it to connect to wireless networks. No dmesg errors, but if I start knetworkmanager from command line it gives me errors of the flavor:
knetworkmanager: WARNING: [AccessPoint* WirelessDevice::getActiveAccessPoint()] No object for active access point found!
Activate Connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/0 on Device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_17_3f_b0_4d_84

Is this just me, or has anyone else seen this?
It’s completely unusable for any wireless network for me.

it might be easier for you to just add your usb product and vendor IDs at The Hardware Wiki and wait for someone who can to make a proper fdi file, get it into hal-info, and you’ll eventually receive it as an update. But it depends on you.

Looking at hal’s docs suggests its not quite possible to find out if a device ‘is a gsm phone’.

I’ll have to come back to this issue when i can find time to properly research what makes a phone ‘gsm’ or otherwise.

I believe the matching process goes like so:
If
Nokia Phone,

Exposes the interface “0×02”, Exposes the child interface “0×02”, Then It is a Modem which supports …

I suppose it would be better to find out how to add “if GSM phone” in there though. Need some more research there.

look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G. There you find some nokia phones with bugs attached. maybe ask there to test your generic rule.

BTW, how sure are we that all nokia phones are GSM phones?

he he, its just a one-line patch to the current system. Just replace the “product_id” with the “vendor_id” in the case of nokia phones,

I haven’t tested it, for want of a second nokia phone, but i expect it to work in theory. worked with my own phone.

It will take me a while to make a new patch though (bandwidth reasons), so (anyone) feel free to patch that up.

Stoffe, have fun. l8rs
