0.7 3G: PPP tab of Mobile Broadband connection editor forgets changes

[Craig Ringer]

Binary package hint: network-manager

network-manager 0.7~~svn20080818t061112 , under Hardy

The PPP tab of the Mobile Broadband Connection settings editor in NM 0.7 (under Hardy) discards changes when the dialog is closed/accepted.

Steps to reproduce:

Right click on NM applet icon
Choose "Edit Connections"
Click on "Mobile Broadband" tab
Create a new connection or edit an existing one
In the resulting dialog, click on the "Point to Point Protocol (PPP)" tab
Change some settings. For example, uncheck "Use Authentication" and check "Send PPP echo packets".
Click "OK"
Click "Edit" on the connection you just created/modified, and go back into the PPP tab

Actual behaviour:

"Use authentication" is checked, and "send ppp etch packets" is unchecked.

Expected:

"Use authentication" is unchecked, and "send ppp etch packets" is checked.

I confirm this bug, same configuration, same result

I can confirm this as well. And it doesn't just "forget" the setting it does nothing with it. If echo is uncheck then the /etc/ppp/options file (to me) should be updated to set lcp-echo-failure and interval to zero (see bug #268667), but it does not. Seems to have no affect actually.
