I see an identical reported bug at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1089094, however there was
no progress there due to EOL of the OS.

I tried on Ubuntu-14 on Linux-Kernel-3.16 and Linux-Kernel-4.2, and
behaviour is same.

The modemmanager version is 1.0.0-2ubuntu1.1 on both.
I tried "apt-get install", but I am told it is the latest-version available.

Not sure whether really this is in domain of NM-guys or kernel-guys,
so ccing both :)

Any ideas of a fix/workaround?


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
