Re: Hack to allow passing Vendor=nortel in network-manager-vpnc
Hi Dan, I do now have a Netscreen to test against, so you can expect that additional NM-vpnc features that I implement are tested against the Netscreen. Thus, this bug will probably get fixed sooner rather than later. That's a really good news :) I'm looking forward to test it. Thanks.

Re: Mobile Broadband - disconnect after 2 mins.
I just submitted this bug, which was noted as resolved... but I can confirm that the problem still exists. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556781 I had been testing NM from PPA for Ubuntu Hardy... and now I'm testing NM 0.7.0 included in Ubuntu Intrepid, and I still see the same behavior. The CDMA connection does not have the Send ppp echo packets checked... which was explained to me as LCP echo. In the bug report, I also noted a work around, which is to disable LCP echo requests and interval setting in the global PPP options file: /etc/ppp/options: lcp-echo-interval 0 lcp-echo-failure 0 This resolves the issue for me. Perhaps you can also comment on the bug report. -- Gilbert Mendoza PGP: 0x075DBCA9 Email: gmendoza at gmail.com http://www.savvyadmin.com https://launchpad.net/~gmendoza https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GilbertMendoza On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 10:18 AM, Rick Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Having hacked a binary patch into NM (just for the init string) so my Palm modem will connect, I now find that it systematically disconnects after exactly 2 minutes. In the log, the modem state suddenly goes from 8 - 7, and then everything unwinds. It makes no difference whether the connection is idle or busy, after 2 mins. it's gone I know this modem has a problem with LCP echo - when testing it with pppd I had to explicitly turn LCP echo off otherwise it complained that it received its own echo requests. However, with echo off it will stay connected indefinitely using pppd. What does NM do with LCP echo? I notice there is an option in the config dialog for PPP echo (is that the same thing?), but that it won't stick so I guess it's unimplemented. Any ideas on the timeout disconnect?

Thanks, I'd forgotten about default ppp options, that tweak works for me too. So the problem is 2-fold: 1. The PPP echo option in the UI is not implemented, and stays off. 2. Nothing overrides the default PPP (LCP) echo options, so even though the UI says off, if the default is on, echos are still sent. Is it a common feature of broadband modems not to handle LCP echo properly? I guess it's not really needed anyway.
