3G Woes

Has anyone out there used a recent Nokia phone (E65 to be precise) as a modem with Network Manager 0.7? I can't seem to get the magic right, and get one of two failures:

NetworkManager: <info>  (ttyACM0): powering up... 
NetworkManager: <info>  Registered on Home network 
an 15 10:50:04 blackadder NetworkManager: <info>  Associated with network: +COPS: 0,2,"23415" 
  NetworkManager: <WARN>  dial_done(): Dialing timed out </WARN>

Or:

NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (ttyACM0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.

Anyone know what the problem could be?

I use a Nokia E71 with a usb cable connected to my laptop with F10 x86_64 and it works fine. It has NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10.x86_64

But the NetworkManager version before this one would not work at all. So maybe try to update?

I use my Nokia N78 as a 3g bluetooth router

first pair the phone with the laptop and accept the laptop do connectons to the phone this over bluetooth

then create the /dev/rfcomm0 by
1 edit  /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf 
  set the channel and cell bluetooth address
2 rfcomm connect 0  th:ea:dd:re:ss  andchannel
3 create a  ppp chatscript to use /dev/rfcomm0
4 enable the ppp connection.

and you are done

even you can use the cell phone to make calls when surfing the net ..

I'd be tempted to kick NM in the noodlies and see if it works if you just configure it the old-skool way, or using wvdial, perhaps. NM looks a trifle...undiagnos-able.

So the first log is caused by the acm_cdc kernel driver having a panic, removing it fixes that.  Yes, pon works fine, but I want this integrated with NM. :)
