NetworkManager 0.7.1 Success with CDC ACM Modem

[Daniel Qarras]

Dan, World,

I'm thrilled to report that after just upgrading to 0.7.0.99-1 on Fedora 10, NetworkManager is now able to establish connections by using my Nokia 6021 connected to a laptop with Nokia CA-42 cable - with zero configuration! "Woo!" :-)

FWIW, background information: Nokia CA-42 shows up as a CDC ACM modem. The tricky part was that these kind of cables can support both GSM and CDMA models. HAL become aware of CDC ACM modems on 2008-05-05:

And now when NetworkManager implements needed autodetection bits, everything Just Works(tm)!

I'm attaching parts of syslog after booting the system while my home wireless access point was turned off and creating a connection via Nokia CA-42/Nokia 6021.

Thanks!
