nm 0.7 dns problems with Auto GSM network connection

[Erik Engberg]

Binary package hint: network-manager

0.7~~svn20081008t224042-0ubuntu3~nm1~hardy2

Same bug behavior on 3 different installs on different machines.

Tested with Huawei E180 and E220 3G modems to provider 3 (sweden).

DHCP gives ip address but DNS servers default to 10.11.12.13 and .14

DNS servers must be manually set under IPv4 options selecting (Automatic PPP addresses only). Which will work for one connect entering the DNS servers separated with [SPACE] only. The next time however, DNS allocation doesn't work because a comma is injected between the dns servers. Unless this comma is manually removed, DNS server allocation won't work.

I can confirm this bug on my computer. In addition, when the method in the IPv4 tab is set to Automatically (PPP) network-manager sometimes (~1/30) manage to get proper dns adress (for me it's 89.108.195.20 and 89.108.195.21) and sometimes not (it's set to 10.11.12.13 and .14 so I cannot browse the web).

I use Huawei e169
(Bus 003 Device 002: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem)

this is a dupe of the ppp bug 258801.

[Erik Engberg (erik-engberg)]

Oops, didn't find that one as I thought it was a netmanager issue as it didn't happen outside nm for me.

Anyway, there is still the small bug of the comma between manually set DNS servers. Maybe that should be reported separately?
