Any hint at where I should look?
We can hack something together with F11 perhaps, and on F12 it's even easier. You can try to enter your providers' MCC/MNC (a 6-digit number for the US, 5 digits for everywhere else) in the connection editor in the "Network" entry and NM will direct the modem to register *only* on your providers network and thus not roam, but there are certainly improvements we can do. dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
