No connection with mobile CDC ether usb0

[Dirk Behme <dirk behme googlemail com>]

Hi,

I can't get NetworkManager

  > knetworkmanager --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10 "release 21.9"
KNetworkManager: 0.7

under openSuSe 11.1 connecting to internet using mobile usb0 cdc_ether
connection. (Parallel WLAN connection works, though)

Connecting mobile via USB I get kernel [1] and NetworkManager [2]
messages below. ifconfig usb0 is there then, too [3]. NM applet then
shows "usb0 No carrier" (see screen shot in attachment. Sorry, German
only: "Kein Träger" == "No carrier").

Then I try to configure usb0 via applet new connection:

-> New connection -> usb0
Use manual IP configuration: Not selected
-> Next
Connection Name: Mobile
Self connect: Yes
-> Connect & Save

(there are no more configuration options)

This results in

-- cut --
Jan  4 16:35:42 asterix NetworkManager: <WARN>
connection_added_default_handler(): Connection (2)
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/2 failed to
activate: (2) Device not managed by NetworkManager
-- cut --

And nothing else happens.

This "Device not managed by NetworkManager" sounds strange to me as in
[2] NM deals obviously with usb0 (e.g. "(usb0): preparing device").

Any hint or idea?

And if I disconnect USB I get

Jan  4 16:56:35 asterix NetworkManager: <info>  (usb0): cleaning up..

Many thanks

Dirk
