This bug has not bothered me in months. Still using ATT and a Sierra 875
cellular data card to access Internet. Ubuntu 8.1 finds, installs & operates
Att connection with minimal attention & no errors. Kubuntu not as easy, not
automatic install, but rarely has off line problem. Debian KDE also stays on
line.

God Bless You,
