Re: Where and how to install D02HW in ConnectionManager?

[Jacobs Shannon <shanen yahoo co jp>]

This might or might not represent progress... I think the critical
trick now is to use this information about the D02HW extracted from
the lsusb results:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220
HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem

My yet newest theory is that the ID information of 12d1:1003 needs
to be included in an fdi file. For some reason, pon does not care,
but ConnectionManager must have this information to proceed. I
suspect that it belongs in the
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/ directory in the file
10-modem.fdi. I think it should appear rather like this arbitrarily
selected example:

<!-- Sony Ericsson K750i -->
<match key="@info.parent:usb.vendor_id" int="0x0fce">
  <match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0xd016">
    <match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="1">
      <append key="modem.command_sets"
type="strlist">GSM-07.07</append>
      <append key="modem.command_sets"
type="strlist">GSM-07.05</append>
    </match>
  </match>
</match>

I have found some apparently relevant information on Huawei, but so
far it is in Japanese, which I read slowly and with some pain... I'm
not sure quite what I'm looking for or where to find it. I did find
some information that the D02HW is supposed to work 'out of the box'
with ISPs in several European countries... Or is the secret in the
reams of information from lshal? Perhaps the required information
can be mapped from a Windows machine? And can anyone confirm whether
or not I am making progress?
