Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
BSNL is one of the major service providers in India, and they recently changed their network settings to integrate 3G. They have a new APN and some more changes have beeen made. As a result, network manager is unable to connect. wvdial works, and the attached wvdialrc file is the configuration I use for dialing the network(both 2G and 3G use the same settings). However, Network Manager stubbornly refuses to dial the network, and this is a major hindrance.
I think the package should be fixed ASAP to work with BSNL, since it is the largest provider of 3G services in India.

Fair enough.
My wild guess is that is already fixed in an updated mobile- broadband- provider- info, so I'll reassign to that package and defer to Bhavani who knows much more about that package than I do -- perhaps it just needs SRU if the update was done after Maverick release.
