Hi all,

we have two problems here.

1* Network Manager bug with recognice UMTS device - still does not work
and
2* nozomi bug: ppp do not get IP even if I try to use gcom for registration (this step working fine) and wvdial (but this step fail).

i get the same result as Franz Dietzmann wrote on 2009-10-06

i'm not programer so... i can't help with Network Manager. But I know how to make nozomi work with MSM6275 UMTS chip.

the solution is:
apt-get install linux-source
download linux-2.6.28.10 from kernel.org and unpack
cp linux-2.6.28.10/drivers/char/nozomi.c to /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/drivers/char/nozomi.c
(sha1sum) abca84ad887bce7b1e6cdaf6e7c69fbed950b84f nozomi.c - this one is working fine.
cp /boot/config-YOUR-UBUNTU-KERNEL-VERSION /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/.config
make
cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.31/drivers/char/nozomi.ko /lib/modules/YOUR-UBUNTU-KERNEL-VERSION/kernel/drivers/char/

Now wvdial will be working fine.
