I wrote a post about it (although on a different modem), maybe it could help you: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://benhamo.org/wp/?p=1484">http://benhamo.org/wp/?p=1484</a><br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">A similar issue: I try to use an Alcatel X220 modem to connect to<br>
Orange.<br>
<br>
It failed to work before. After providing the driver of that modem, it<br>
seems to have gottedn support:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/commit/?id=79f05cbceca5638dbfef48e5a50bc406ecca5074" target="_blank">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/commit/?id=79f05cbceca5638dbfef48e5a50bc406ecca5074</a><br>
<br>
However, it still takes over 2.5 minuted for the modem to get detected<br>
by NetworkManager/ ModemManager. It does some probing of its own, but no<br>
modem is made available. It also seems that I need to move away the<br>
plugin libmm-plugin-longcheer.<br>
<br>
wvdial works well there, and no need for waiting so long.<br>
<br>
Anybody has a different exprience with it?<br>
