Re: Problems using 0.7.1 on Intrepid

[Martin Bammer <mrb74 gmx at>]

Ok, I've found the problem. The reason why udev failed on my system was
that the install script installs 77-nm-modem-probe.rules
to /lib/udev/rules.d by default, independent which version of udev is
installed. I moved the script to /etc/udev/rules.d and now udev works as
expected and ID_NM_MODEM_GSM and other attributes are set correctly.

Cheers, Martin
