Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ppp
Note: This bug is a follow on from bug 258801 (Gets bogus DNS servers
during PPP negotiation). However, it IS NOT a duplicate of that bug as
it is largely solved for most people. Alexander Sack requested someone
create a new bug to describe this 'corner case', so here it is...
Description:
About 50% of the time I connect to my 3G network and though the connection
appears ok and Network Manager tells me all's good, the connection is useless
because there is no functioning DNS. For me, recreating this bug is simply a
case of connecting as normal. Sometimes everything is good, sometimes it's not
and there are no DNS entries at all under 'Connection Information'. It is quite
possible to have to disconnect/reconnect many times in order to get a working
connection.
Hardware, Software & Other Info:
* I'm using a Huawei E169 3G USB modem to connect to the 3 (Three) UK network.
* Intrepid 8.10 with PPP 2.4.4rel-10ubuntu2.8.10.1
* Connects first time, every time under windows with exactly the same hardware
and network.
Attached is a recent syslog showing two failed connections and a
successful one.
** Affects: ppp (Ubuntu)
