Bug#592444: marked as done (network-manager: Upgrade from 0.8.0-999-1 to 0.8.1-1 broke mobile broadband using HUAWEI E170)
Hello, I guess that the actual end-user problem persists. The package has only recommends on a ppp version. The bug reports show that debian savvy users discovered that manually installing another ppp version could solve the problem. But the wrong dependency conf is still there (it only RECOMMENDS ppp (= 2.4.5) )and average user will get stuck without being able to stabilish conection with its Huawei 3G modem if previously installed 2.4.4, and it NEEDS 2.4.5 to work. Please, could you confirm this? Is there a better solution to the ppp dependency problem for 3G modem? It will likely surface again on dist-upgrades after squeeze release. Regards. Andre Felipe

Hello, I can confirm that this problem, and workaround, happens with the HUAWEI E160 3G modem too. The version from unstable repository ppp-2.4.5-4 breaks network-manager-pppt dependencies, but at least the 3G connection is stablished. Regards. Andre Felipe
