On a whim, I once again tried connecting to my CDMA connection via bluetooth using NM-applet-->Dial-Up Connections-->Connect to 1xevdo via Modem. This time, it worked! However, NM still does not recognize that it does not have a connection, and thus applications such as Firefox continue to start offline. I have attached the relevant syslog from a connection using this method, and a corresponding disconnection. NM seems to be giving a warning that it cannot activate the dial-up service, even though the connection is successful.

Is there a way to have it provide more verbose output about why this fails, and is it the cause of my problem?

I have also attached my /etc/network/interfaces file, as well as the scripts located in the /etc/ppp/peers directory I use to connect. Normally, I use "sudo ifup ppp0" to connect via bluetooth, and usually, the NM method above does not work (though it seems to be now).

I would like to get this sorted out, please let me know of any additional information which I could provide.
