Re: stopping modem manager

[hong sheng <hong022011 gmail com>]

Hi Jikra,

I am new to networkmanager open source and need your help.

For networkmanager 0.80, do you mean networkmanager will also bring up modem-manager? But I didn't see it. Is it because networkmanager doesn't detect the modem in udev?
 
Also, I have questions of relationship between networkmanager and modem-manager. I read the code of networkmanager 0.8.0, and modem-manager is part of it. When we do compile or build, install, will "modem-manager" exe-file automatically be generated? But it seems there is no main() function in the folder of modem-manager. And I didn't see modem-manager exe file be generated when I do make install networkmanager.  Or we need to download a separate packet to build and install modem-manager?

Also, if I want to set modem in linux terminal instead of through graphic applet, how can I do it? 

Currently, I put "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service" under /usr/share/dbus-1/system-service and "org.freedesktop.ModemManager.conf" under /etc/dbus-1/system.d. In addition, I put a keyfile TestMode under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection. However, I am still not able to make the modem run. Do I miss something? 

thanks a lot for the help

Yes, that's the right content of the file.
However, you don't have to and should not do anything with this file.

The above suggestion about removing it is just a workaround to disable modem-
manager to be started via NetworkManager daemon.

modem-manager is complementary program to NetworkManager and it is used to
manage modems. You don't have to execute it manually. It is run automatically
by NetworkManager.
So, you just have to plug your modem and that's it. As far as configuration is
concerned, you should set up a connection using nm-connection-editor. You can
run it from terminal or just right-click on nm-applet in systray and choose
"Edit Connections...". Then select "Mobile Broadband" tab and add your
connection.
