There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in my ~/.gconf/* dirs. So this would be a problem in the Hal entry for your modem. /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi I have attached one that should fix it. Can you copy it over the one you have (back yours up first) and reboot your system. See if it works. I see that what is in there now it's going to try ttyUSB0. This probably needs to be changed. Once you have tested it, I will submit the fix upstream. > > Thanks, > Ben. > > _______________________________________________ > NetworkManager-list mailing list > NetworkManager-list gnome org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
