Pelephone 3G modem and NetowrkManager

[Tzafrir Cohen]

A similar issue: I try to use an Alcatel X220 modem to connect to
Orange.

It failed to work before. After providing the driver of that modem, it
seems to have gottedn support:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/commit/?id=79f05cbceca5638dbfef48e5a50bc406ecca5074

However, it still takes over 2.5 minuted for the modem to get detected
by NetworkManager/ ModemManager. It does some probing of its own, but no
modem is made available. It also seems that I need to move away the
plugin libmm-plugin-longcheer.

wvdial works well there, and no need for waiting so long.

Anybody has a different exprience with it?
