error: couldn't find the ModemManager process in the bus

[João M. S. Silva]

I got help from ubuntu-devel-discuss and found a way to enable 
modemmanager without network-manager:

$ cat /etc/init/modemmanager.override
start on starting dbus
stop on stopped dbus

This makes it depend on dbus instead of network-manger, which I think is 
the correct dependence.
