Bug Description
Hi all,
I'm reporting a problem on behalf of a friend of mine.
After the upgrade he was unable to connect to his mobile via the gnome ppp application.
Log message:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot open /dev/rfcomm0: Permission denied

Manually adding:
$ sudo chown username:users /dev/rfcomm0
to rc.local "fixed" the issue.
Yes, I know that's not the proper solution but I failed to understand the udev rule.

This has already been fixed upstream (rfcomm were not in the dialout group)
The following extra rule will fix it for you:
KERNEL= ="rfcomm* ", GROUP="dialout"
