Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8
Severity: normal
Manpage says:
The wvdial Method
This method uses wvdial to configure a PPP interface. See that
command for more details.
Options
provider name
Use name as the provider (from /etc/ppp/peers).
but infact the option "provider" here references a specific [Dialer]
section in /etc/wvdial.conf, not /etc/ppp/peers.
ifupdown invokeѕ the command "wvdial $provider" via start-stop-daemon
which means according wvdial manpage:
One or more SECTIONs of /etc/wvdial.conf may be specified on the
command line. Settings in these sections will override settings in
[Dialer Defaults].
For example, the command:
wvdial phone2
will read default options from the [Dialer Defaults] section,
then override any or all of the options with those found in the [Dialer
phone2] section.
Cheers,
Andreas
