I am using Ubuntu 6.10. I've gotten NetworkManager to dial up my modem connection (a Sprint AirCard) by linking ppp0 to my 1xevdo file in /etc/ppp/peers. NetworkManager dials the connection when I hit Connect to Modem. The only problem is that it doesn't actually say it is connected or show a connection status. I can't use the normal setup for dial up connection in Gnome because my connection does not use a username, etc. Well, since NetworkManager never updates the status of ppp0, it thinks that it is not connected to the Internet. My problem is that the VPN connections I have configured are never available because there is a setting that is checked (yet greyed out) that says an existing connection is required. If I connect to Ethernet, then the VPN connection become available. I'd like to either know how to make NetworkManager see ppp0 IS working, or how to disable the "Require existing network connection" setting. I am guessing this can be done in gconf-editor or something.
