Add Modem-manager

Asked by bjornrun

Hello,

I have patched Ubuntu NM 0.7 so it supports modem-manager. But I need some help how to include it in the Ubuntu Package.
First have someone already done this? It would save a lot of time. Please, let me know if more are working on this for Ubuntu!

Status:
It is possible to patch NM 0.7 (at least 0.7~~svn20081008t224042) with the contained patches from git://gitorious.org/modemmanager/mainline.git
if you do not apply dpatches: add_libmbca_support.patch and add_probe_for_v250_modems.patch
because the structure is quite different when using the modem-manager.

I would like a little help how to package the modem-manager...

Regards,
Bjorn

Put it on your ppa (personal package archive) in launchpad.

Update:

I have put the NetworkManager that supports Modem-Manager and MBM on LaunchPad as suggested.

Add these to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bjorn-runaker-se/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bjorn-runaker-se/ubuntu intrepid main

---

Run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-applet modem-manager

---

Status is very unfinished and feed-back is very welcome!

Thanks,
Bjorn
