Re: NM ignores Motorola Q phone

[Tony Seward <anthony seward ieee org>]

I've been able to get further with my Q Phone since my first message.  I
had to work through a bunch of SELinux problems: Most of them seem to be
fixed with the latest SELinux updates.  I also had to learn that it is
important to share the internet connection on the Q Phone before
connecting the USB cable and also that it is important to set the USB
connection to ActiveSync RNDIS.  I also found out that most of the
on-line help forums for WM 6.1 are worthless: menu locations are totally
inconsistent between phones.  I can now see the phone in NM and I get an
address from it.

The bottom line is that I believe I have worked through all of the setup
issues and have isolated my last problem to something on my phone
service side.  Now I'm trying to find a Windows machine to replicate the
problem.
