refuse to connect over Nokia N85, turns off the handset

At least my model (Nokia N85) responds with error to an attempt to turn power on (AT+CFUN=1), and indeed switches off when given "power off" command (AT+CFUN=0). This patch makes the modem manager not try any of these commands on Nokia devices.

Confirmed with a Nokia 5800 as well.
These messages are shown in /var/log/daemon.log

Oct 1 11:06:38 belepl0011 modem-manager: Got failure code 4: Operation not supported
Oct 1 11:06:38 belepl0011 NetworkManager: <WARN> stage1_prepare_done(): GSM modem connection failed: Operation not supported

Could figure out how to kill the already running modem-manager so I could start it in debug mode, so no autoput to confirm the AT+CFUN command.

But this appears to be fixed upstream: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/commit/?id=2bad09403aae95dd25ce03790fce45a85578f677

Considering Nokia's marketshare, can this fix be included in 9.10 final?

Same problem with Nokia N97 and Nokia E75

Hope it'll be fixed before 9.10 final!

I did not observe a difference in the log files or the output of mm-test whether i run it as root or not

please try the patch (mm.patch) i am attaching, like:

sudo apt-get build-dep modemmanager
sudo apt-get install devscripts
apt-get source modemmanager
cd modemmanager*/
patch -p1 < /tmp/mm.patch
debuild -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i modem*.deb

sorry. previous patch was wrong. use this

i opened bug 450256 for whatever is left.

seems ok.

package installing works too, and connection works now as well on N97
