Description Mitch Davis 2012-10-16 13:06:40 UTC 
Hello there.  I have a nice ARM-based Sheevaplug, made by Globalscale Technologies.  There's a slave USB port on the side for access to the Linux console.  However when I plug the Sheevaplug into a computer (in my case, running Fedora 17), modem-manager starts talking with it, in the hopes it turns out to be a modem.

Since the Sheevaplug is not a modem, modem-manager shouldn't be talking to it.  This can be fixed by adding these lines:

# GlobalScaleTechnologies SheevaPlug
ATTRS{idVendor}=="9e88", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9e8f", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

Right near the end of this file:

Thanks for all your hard work on NM!
