Comment 58 for bug 147119

This problem still occurs in Jaunty. If I use a "normal" connection in NM, I have no problems apart from being unable to connect using the cellular modem - it keeps on prompting me for a password - but if I connect using wvdial, NM doesn't see the connection at all, and as a result any programs which use NM's status don't work *cough* Pidgin *cough*

The wvdial.conf which I use is as follows:
[Dialer Defaults]
Phone = *99#
Username = abc
Password = abc
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB3
Baud = 7200000
Init = atz
Init2 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internetg"
ISDN = off
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Dial Attempts = 1
Abort on No Dialtone = off
Stupid Mode = on

As can be seen, no real authentication is done, and the modem is treated as a normal (albeit rather fast) serial modem. When the modem is inserted, I get a nice wizard which tries to set up the connection and then it refuses to connect.
