Hello,
I'm having trouble using a Novatel Ovation MC990D wireless USB modem on Arch Linux. I have all the required utilities installed (networkmanager, modemmanager, usb_modeswitch, etc), but when I plug the modem in, nothing happens at all. lsusb gives me this:
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 1410:7001 Novatel Wireless
I tried wvdial, but wvdialconf says no modem was detected:
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud
ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S1 S2 S3
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
What else should I try? If you need more info, let me know.

Hm, is there a workaround to this?

Except by patching and recompiling the kernel, I don't think so
The patch was accepted in the Linux tree and is available in the new Linux 3.4 RC versions.
USB: option: re-add NOVATELWIRELESS_PRODUCT_HSPA_HIGHSPEED to option_id array
Maybe you should create a bug report in Arch and add this patch ?
