[lxc-users] Any experiences with modemmanager in unprivilegied container ?

[Nicolas FOURNIL]

I think I get all working with this setup :
in lxc config :

  raw.lxc: |-

lxc.mount.entry=/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/net/wwan0
sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/net/wwan0 none
bind,optional,create=dir
devices:
  cdc-wdm0:
    gid: "20"
    mode: "0666"
    path: /dev/cdc-wdm0
    source: /dev/cdc-wdm0
    type: unix-char
  ttyACM0:
    gid: "20"
    mode: "0666"
    path: /dev/ttyACM0
    source: /dev/ttyACM0
    type: unix-char
  usb_modem:
    gid: "0"
    productid: a001
    type: usb
    uid: "0"
    vendorid: "1199"
  wwan0:
    name: wwan0
    nictype: physical
    parent: wwan0
    type: nic

then in container (for each reboot):
create :
/var/lib/cloud/scripts/per-boot/LTE_udev_helper.sh

#!/bin/bash
service ModemManager stop
udevadm test
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/usbmisc/cdc-wdm0
udevadm test
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.2/tty/ttyACM0
udevadm test /sys/class/net/wwan0
sleep 1
service ModemManager start

Off course you had to adapte the usb path with your environement, maybe a
special hook in usb dev ?!

and it seems ok (detection is a little slow)... I'm starting my tests on
this setup (LTE Connect OK, SMS Ok).
