We are currently using Quectel modem and modemmanager service for our academic research. We are using Quectel RM500Q-AE and GL series modems.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>We have a Physical layer logger script using pyserial written to get physical parameters on one of the AT ports. One area where I am stuck is with Modemmanager and other driver support.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>We are currently using the modem in AT+QCFG="usbnet",1 (cdc_ether) mode. We require the modemmanager to not interfere with the quectel ports which happens initially and we are able to connect to the internet as well as collect logging parameters. But we also use another modem (AT&T dongle) on the same device which requires modemmanager for its functionality. Once we connect the other AT&T dongle, Modemmanager scans all ports and takes control of Quectel USB as well, after which we cannot run the logger nor connect to the internet.(log attached-cdc_ether.log)<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>One of the popular solutions online is to mask/stop the modemmanager service while running Quectel modem. Unfortunately we cannot use that since we have another modem using Modemmanager.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Another solution was to use the Udev rules and tell mm to ignore Quectel modem, I did think initially that this worked but unfortunately this solution is not working as well.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"<o:p></o:p>and/or<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="0"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="1"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="2"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="3"<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>We have also added blacklist rules like below<o:p></o:p>ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="mm_tty_blacklist_end"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="0"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="1"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="2"<o:p></o:p>ATTRS{idVendor}=="2c7c" ATTRS{idProduct}=="0800", ENV{ID_MM_PORT_IGNORE}="3"<o:p></o:p>LABEL="mm_tty_blacklist_end"<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p> </o:p>Can you please help me out with this issue?
