Hi Andres,
Previously, we manually listed every driver entry that needed
Device;
this meant that we needed to edit modemconf.c every time we added
a new modem plugin. Sjoerd Simons discovered that mbm doesn't work
because it wasn't listed in modemconf, therefore Device was being
ignored. This patch makes modemconf default to setting Device, with
exceptions made for certain plugin drivers.
A better way to fix this that I started working on would be to have
each driver plugin have a table of desired/required strings, and to
keep any knowledge of drivers out of udev.c and modemconf.c. This
may be a bit of a challenge for udev.c, though. Is this something
that people would like to see?
actually modemconf is only for static devices inside embedded systems
like a mobile phone. The desktop should auto-discover modems via udev
and MBM is one of them that get auto-discovered nicely when having a
proper libudev in place.
Regards
Marcel
