ANN: ModemManager 1.18.4 released / Avoiding PPP

[Aleksander Morgado]

Hey,

> So, the problem is the timing here exclusively, there is no failed QMI
> protocol probing. This system you're running seems to be a bit slow,
> and the events reported are taking a lot of time to complete before
> the next one can be processed; we should definitely fix this in
> ModemManager so that we can handle these type of systems as well.
>
> For a quick workaround in your case, can you try modifying
> EXTRA_PROBING_TIME_MSECS in mm-plugin-manager.c and change it from
> 1500 to something bigger like e.g. 3000 or 4000?
>
> There's one thing clear though; the longer timeout should not be
> applied by default, as that would impose an extra wait time that is
> not needed in most cases. I think we can make this more specific to
> setups like yours, e.g. making the longer timeout happen only for
> openwrt setups (when udev is not available) and also maybe applicable
> only during MM daemon startup (e.g. if the port addition happened in
> the first 10s of the MM daemon startup, allow a bigger extra probing
> time). What do you think?
