Description philippe.retornaz 2013-01-09 08:57:44 UTC 
USB vid 0x0617 is managed by EPFL and no modem have been ever produced with a such VID.
But some devices use the CDC-ACM class so modemmanager mess with them and produce a bad user experience.

Please blacklist the following VID/PID (you can blacklist the whole VID if you want):

0x0617:0x000a  ( Thymio-II robot )
0x0617:0x000b  ( 802.15.4 dongle )
0x0617:0x000c  ( reserved )


BTW, Modemmanager should watch if the serial port is open by an another application and immediately give up in a such case. Inotify with IN_OPEN flag monitoring works with serial ports.

Added the blacklist for the whole VID; both in git master and MM_06.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
