Comment 6 for bug 316347

Here's the status. In the final Jaunty release, the dongle shows up.
However, it never established a connection.

This weekend I played with various options in /etc/ppp/options and I
found that setting "ipcp-accept-local" in that options file solved the
problem.

It seems that ipcp-accept-local is a reasonable default for client
systems, because it allows the GSM service to say "this is your IP
address". I also played with variations on ipcp-accept-remote and
noremoteip (the latter requires manually adding a special default route
via the ppp0 device because there is no ip address for the remote).

Alexander, I think it would be worth a review of our default ppp
options. I suspect this is at the heart of many of the 3G issues that
remain.
