Problems initializing the modem



Hi.

I was able to reproduce a problem where I get many issue tickets from our users in the field for.

The problem from user side is that the system is offline after login and they are not able to connect manually until they have used the rfkill swich. We have a session autostart to bring up a 3g based systemconnection in the case that the system is offline. If that fails the user can start the connection by hand using nm-applet. But if the modem-manager fails to initialize the modem the user cannot start the connection because there is no entry in the list. This problem occurs very often.

I was able to reproduce the issue - which was very difficult - while running modem-manager in debug mode and capture some logs and I really hope they are useful.

Some user reports that they run into this issue very often, some others never have seen this. They all have the same components and identical hardware / bios / firmware etc.

The attached syslog.stripped only contains the NetworkManager messages. There was no modem-manager logs in the original file maybe because modem-manager was started with --debug option.
