gnome-ppp/wvdial is not anymore working by a user in the "dialout" GROUP, but usable by a user in the "uucp" GROUP (or root). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.log in an account (root, user in uucp, user in dialout) 2.activate gnome-ppp/wvdial 3.read the journal Actual Results: Gnome-ppp/wvdial can not open /dev/ttySHSF0 from a user in the "dialout" group and not in the "uucp" group. Expected Results: In user session with user in dialout group, Gnome-ppp/wvdial should be able to open the /dev/ttySHSF0 device. The hsf-rules were placed in the 00- bin (00-hsf-rules). As the KERNEL="tty..." series is handled by now in the 50-udev-default-rules the /dev/ttySHSF0 is eventually put in the "uucp" GROUP, not the "dialout" GROUP as expected. It should be placed in the 70- bin (driver bin) as 70-hsf-rules, after the (gentoo) 65-permissions-rules (which might interfer in the future). 70-hsf-rules verified working. To be pushed upstream ?
Does it work if you move the rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hsf?

It appears that 7.68.00.12 has been removed from gentoo tree for an at least not advertised reason. Puzzling and full stop for me. So, I am 56k dead, waiting for resurection, maybe for good through one of those brand new USB CDC ACM worldwide dongle. Cheers.
Huh? 7.68.00.12 is in the tree... My question is: if you move that udev rule file to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hsf, does it fix your problem? Please respond in a timely manner. I will give you one week time to respond, if you don't then I will assume the answer is "yes".

So, I can not answer your question, even if I think it should work. Anyway, thanks.
oops... seems that I remove it by accident, sorry for that. Try to sync in an hour or so, it should be there.

Fixed in hsfmodem-7.68.00.13.
