Hi there, I've been suffering with this bug for a while now. Is there a workaround to fix wvdial after I Ctrl C out of it in the Setup?

I'm moving from Edgy to Feisty (late I know, but specifically because of this bug) on a Samsung P20 Laptop.

Any idea how I find out what sort of modem is in the machine?

Thanks in advance,
