This problem still occurs in Jaunty. If I use a "normal" connection in NM, I have no problems apart from being unable to connect using the cellular modem - it keeps on prompting me for a password - but if I connect using wvdial, NM doesn't see the connection at all, and as a result any programs which use NM's status don't work *cough* Pidgin *cough*
The wvdial.conf which I use is as follows: [Dialer Defaults] Phone = *99# Username = abc Password = abc New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/ttyUSB3 Baud = 7200000 Init = atz Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internetg" ISDN = off Modem Type = Analog Modem Dial Attempts = 1 Abort on No Dialtone = off Stupid Mode = on As can be seen, no real authentication is done, and the modem is treated as a normal (albeit rather fast) serial modem. When the modem is inserted, I get a nice wizard which tries to set up the connection and then it refuses to connect. -- network manager gives couldn't activate dialup service warning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
