I've worked around the dropout-then-mandatory-reboot problem in Oneiric by using wvdial (NM still handles connection to router and on forwarding to other devices). With wvdial, dropouts are reconnected and internet access continues.
It's hard to measure but dropout frequency also seem less (this obviously depends on many hard-to-control variables: weather, cell range/load/usage, inside/outside etc). Strange that I seem to have this problem and it is not being reported by other mobile broadband users. (ISP is Virgin Mobile Broadband leasing capacity on the Singtel-owned Optus network in Australia.) Any hints in my logs as to the cause? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/905622 Title: Mobile broadband fails after dropout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/905622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
