Debug message from ModemManager.

The EM7455 (Dell DW5811e) is not working when using the git master
ModemManager/libmbim/libqmi.

The last message piece from "ModemManager --debug":

I tried mbimcli by "mbimcli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --query-device-caps --verbose":

And the transaction repeats for 30 times, in the end it says:

error: couldn't open the MbimDevice: Transaction timed out


But when using EM7305, everything works as expected.

Looks like the mbim-proxy cannot get the MBIM port open.

Could you run the following sequence?

[stop ModemManager]
$ sudo /usr/libexec/mbim-proxy --verbose > proxy.log 2>&1 &
$ sudo /usr/sbin/ModemManager --debug

And send back the proxy log?

Looks like the proxy didn't receive anything. Was ModemManager run
*after* running the proxy?

Yes. There was already a ModemManager instance running. Here's the
correct log.

Thanks. Pretty weird, the modem doesn't seem to ever reply to any MBIM
message...

Now I can make the device work by changing the retry timer from 1s to 4s in mbim_device_command():
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libmbim/libmbim/tree/src/libmbim-glib/mbim-device.c#n1234

After changing that, the device can operate normally.
So looks like it may be a driver/firmware/hardware problem.

Title:
  novatel: improve probing for Dell branded modems

Status in ModemManager:
  Confirmed
Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Incomplete
Status in OEM Priority Project trusty series:
  New
Status in modemmanager package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in modemmanager source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  Dell rebrands modems from different vendors, including Novatel, Sierra
  and Ericsson. Until now we defaulted to the Novatel plugin when a Dell
  device was found, but then we're breaking newer MBIM Sierra Dell-
  branded modems, as we don't have MBIM support in the Novatel plugin.

  So, we should try to improve the probing in the Novatel, Sierra and
  MBM plugins, so that they probe also Dell devices, and we'll then try
  to match via AT-probing which plugin should be handling the Dell
  device.

  Could we backport this patch  into trusty? Thanks!
