RHBA-2013:1672 - ModemManager bug fix update

Synopsis

ModemManager bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated ModemManager packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The ModemManager packages provide a consistent application programming interface (API) to operate a wide variety of modems, including mobile broadband (3G) devices.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, some broadband devices were not covered by the "udev" rules in the /lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-*.rules files. As a consequence, the broadband connection was either not established at all, or failed after communicating a few packages. Additional "udev" rules have been included to ensure that ModemManager uses the correct serial port. As a result, more broadband devices, such as ZTE, LG, and Sierra Wireless modems, are now supported. (BZ#883079)

Users of ModemManager are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
