I understand that the main fault lies with the modem-manager which is unable to dial my modem and I have to use gnome-ppp or wvdial for the same. However, my complaint with network manager is that it should be able to detect that an internet connection has been made using another program. If that is not technically feasible, then please put an option in network manager to manually put the status as online (if required, the network manager may verify by pinging some known server). But since other programs are relying on the online status publised by network manager, it shall be capable enough to handle all situations, or atleast have a manual mode.
Playing a blame game is not going to help anyone. The only best thing that the owner of network-manager can do is to implement the said solution until the problem with modem-manager gets resolved. Everyone shall do the best on his own part. -- MASTER Network Manager integrated ppp support - should allow the configuration of dial up modems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311581 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
