Re: udev doesn't recognize my gsm dongle

[Maxime Boure <mboure ubiquiet com>]

Thank for this answer !

It is really helpful. I tried the lshal at boot and no device is seen ... I assume that is the problem !
But now I don't know what to do to get hal to recognize the dongle at boot. I don't get any print from udev at boot it must be a redirection to /dev/null/ but nm-modem-probe is for sure called with good informations I managed to display them.

Concerning prints at boot I got that :

Do you think that nm-modem-probe doesn't recognize the device I tried the command from the udev rule after booting with the dongle plugged before boot :
/lib/udev# nm-modem-probe --vid  0x12d1 --pid  0x1003 --usb-interface 00 01 --driver  option --delay 1000 --timeout 5000 --export --verbose --log /tmp/probe.log
L: (946685003.877166) main(): (01): usb-vid 0x12d1  usb-pid 0x1003  usb-intf 0  driver 'option'
L: (946685003.877380) main(): waiting 1000 ms before probing
L: (946685004.877807) main(): probing 01
E: (946685009.983703) open(01) failed: 2

Does that speak to you ? the error at opening means it doesn't see it either ?
The more I try to understand things the more I get lost TT

PS: by the way I like your blog dan :)
