	To make my MD300 modem work with modem-manager I had to comment the line 
below from /lib/udev/rules.d/77-mm-ericsson-mbm.rules

ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d0cf", ENV{ID_MM_ERICSSON_MBM}="1"

	MD300 does not recognize the AT*ENAP and AT*E2NAP commands that modem-manager 
tries to use when the setting above is in place. After commeting that line 
modem-manager uses the generic-gsm plugin with my modem, which works but for 
some reason it is ignoring almost all knetworkmanager parameters for my 3G 
connection, it still uses username, password and APN, but all the rest 
(including the baud rate) is ignored. Because of the lack of baud rate pppd 
refurses to run. The log is attached. I do not know where the problem is (in 
modem-manager, networkmanager or knetworkmanager), they interact too deep with 
each other and I still have not figured out how to debug them more 
efficiently. Since the ad-hoc feature is more important to me I postponed this 
problem to concentrate in ad-hoc.

	Nothing appears in NetworkManager log, it seems knetworkmanager is not 
reacting when I click on my shared wireless connection entry in knm menu. I 
checked all *network* entries in kdebugdialog, run knm and the only line that 
appeared in .xsession-errors was:

knetworkmanager(15622) Knm::Activatable::activate:

	I will do more debuging using qdbus --system --literal and nm-applet and send 
you the logs.
