Well, I have already worked on these packages, but despite several email to
upstream requesting some changes, I still haven't received any answer. ATM
hsolink needs to be setuid root, which is imho not needed. As I have
already had to change a lot of things, I do not want to change all the
sources and would prefer working with upstream author for this.
Until I receive an answer, I won't request for these packages to be
uploaded.
In the meantime, NetworkManager 0.7 was uploaded and is working with such
Option 3G modems. Now that kernel 2.6.29 is also in Debian (which includes
the hso module), I think the priority is to upload the zerocdoff package
(which is almost ready, just need to review it, I own an ITP for this which
suggests the kernel should be fixed) - you can also test usb_modeswitch
which was already uploaded.
Cheers,
Julien
