4. Known issues

4.1. SELinux

Vodafone Mobile Connection Card Driver for Linux does a lot of things that SELinux doesn't like, as load libraries and run binaries installed in non-standard paths, load and unload kernel modules, use and lock devices... This installer includes some policies and labeling commands for telling SELinux what we are doing so it can trust in us. In this way, this application works on Fedora 7 and 8 with out of the box SELinux settings. It should also work on other distributions with SELinux, if not, please give us some feedback.

4.2. Permissions

If you are experiencing permission issues (you cannot write devices, or they seems always locked), check out the next tips:

4.3. If you are using other serial devices... or "Why isn't my GPRS/3G card detected?"

Specially if you are using Novatel Ovation MC950D you can experience problems with the detection of your card when using other serial devices. It's because we reload usbserial module while configuring the device. You can unplug all your usb serial devices (including your GPRS/3G card), remove the modules that are using usbserial (last column in lsmod | grep usbserial) and plug again your GPRS/3G card.
