Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Running Edgy, when using a GSM mobile phone as a GPRS modem no ppp username or password is required (the ppp connection is to your phone and not to the network). Specifying a bogus username and password sometimes works but not always(network dependant).

Thank you for your bug. Somebody should take that upstream, opening an upstream task to reflect that
