Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Running Intrepid Beta, the Network Manager / Mobile Broadband fails to
connect a Sierra Wireless 880 card to the Swisscom service provider.
This configuration DID work in Intrepid Alpha-6, and I have one laptop
on which that setup is still installed and working.
Details:
- Under Intrepid Alpha-6, the Sierra Wireless 880 shows up in the
Network Manager as "Auto GSM network connection". I am able to connect
and disconnect that network with no problem.
- Under Intrepid Beta, on the same laptop, when the card is inserted a
"configuration assistant" starts, and I select Switzerland as the
country, and Swisscom as the service provider. The card then shows up
in the Network Manager list as "Swisscom", but when I try to connect, it
briefly attempts and then says "network disconnected".
- If I put the correct parameters in the /etc/wvdial.conf file (provided
to me by Swisscom), I can then connect manually by running "sudo
wvdial".
I am presently not allowing any more updates to the Alpha-6 system, so
that I do not lose the configuration where this works properly. I can
provide any additional information from that system which may be
necessary.
I think this is a significant issue, because when it works properly, as
it does on Alpha-6, it is very nice, and would be a very significant
advantage for the Intrepid release to have.
