RE: Telit TER-GX400 on Ubuntu/Gumstix

["Andy Maginnis" <jam smru co uk>]

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply, I appreciate the help.

Firstly I think the Ubuntu message is not issue, I mixed up HSDPA & HSUPA, my modem
is only capable of 384kbps. I can see 1/2mbps on the down link when the label is "3 GSM"
so I must be on a UMTS network.

Re the Gumstix, I have added the output from /var/log/messages, but it does seem to look much
the same as the output to the terminal

I used the following commands, but the output looks largely the same as before
sudo modem-manager --debug &
sudo NM_SERIAL_DEBUG=1 NM_PPP_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon &

Is there anything further that I can switch on?

Can I get full NetworkManager output from the Gumstix?  The bits
included don't seem to show everything; NM will usually dump quite a bit
of information about what's going on to syslog's 'daemon' facility.
It'll show up in usually /var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon.log
depending on how syslog is configured on the device.

For the modem-manager end, if you can get into the device, stop NM and
modem-manager, then run 'modem-manager --debug' and then restart NM,
you'll get a lot of modem-manager spew that's useful for debugging
what's going on.
