Comment 6 for bug 311581

Thanks Devarshi

It's just sad that it's taken almost TWO YEARS for such a basic requirement to be taken seriously. In the mean time, I no longer use a 3G connection -- technology, it seems, advances quicker than those who would program for it. I'm sure, however, that the general need for the requirement hasn't gone away. Most especially because it could have just been a wrapper around a shell-script using pppd or even a gksudo'd interface to /etc/network/interfaces (which is pretty-much all I did to solve my issue when I had it). Not rocket science and definitely a stumbling block for adoption amongst the less tech-savvy masses, especially in our netbook-hungry market, where 3G is a totally viable option for getting online.
