Comment 6 for bug 287893

I cannot say whether or not the mbm kernel patch will go into Jaunty, as I don't have a say in kernel matters. I suspect that it would first need to be accepted upstream for us to consider. However, I think if NM was fixed, we really don't need the mbm stuff. I've compared speeds between the mb0 and ppp connection and there wasn't a difference...actually the ppp seemed faster sometimes. If NM can be corrected to provide the right AT commands to the card for setting up the ppp connection, then we should be fine. Even with the mbm patch, you still have to use 'cu' to initialize the card...a fixed NM would remove this hurdle.
