Bug Description

When connecting an Arduino or any Arduino-based device (like monome) modemmanager immediately starts exchanging data with the device, causing problems for software that works with these devices, namely serialosc and the Arduino IDE.

Blacklisting the affected devices currently seems the best way to solve the problem, as found by doing a search for simular bugs, e.g. bug 842702, bug 807889 and bug 490194.

Thanks for doing this!

It looks fine, but could you please re-do the merge proposal against lp:~modemmanager/modemmanager/ubuntu, which is the correct branch for packaging modemmanager used by both Debian and Ubuntu?

I think this also deserves being forwarded upstream, if it hasn't been done already.

Attaching old-style simple debdiff, because of the messed up merge proposal.

The Makey Makey (as far as I know, based on Leonardo) is also not blacklisted (on Fedora 18 as of 2013-10-24).

An ignore should probably be added for Arduino.org devices too (there's two competing Arduino companies now, don't ask):

ATTRS{idVendor}=="2a03", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

And, while we are here, perhaps also ignore the Pinoccio Scout (arduino-like device):

ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d50", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6051", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"
