internetconnection via modem after many trials

[henk reinderink]

Binary package hint: firefox

type modem-Thomson speedtoch 546i
ubuntu 10.10
I cannot get a name of the used version

sometimes it takes an hour before there is a connection with the internet .
I think this is a modem software problem.

now my internetconnection has gone so it takes some time before i can send you this report.

below a part of my system log:

Henk,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

We would like to close this bug report but before we do we are asking do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported? It's unclear why this was reported as being a problem with Firefox. If you are still affected you please give us a lot more information about the problem.

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
