Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-tools-backends
It seems that the PPP chatscript for GPRS connections that ships with
Hardy is faulty. It quite just after it sends the dial string to the
GPRS modem, and does not wait for the CONNECT string, which results in
both an inability to detect connection errors, and the much more serious
problem that the CONNECT string gets into the PPP data stream and
confuses pppd (which, in the end, times out waiting for PPP data that it
deems valid).
On the other hand, the fact that there isn't already a bug for this
problem seems to indicate that it works for others, but I cannot easily
understand how it could.
In my tests, it started working as soon as I added CONNECT to the end of
the chatscript. I'm connecting via Bluetooth with my Sony Ericsson P990i
mobile phone.
For that matter, it wouldn't hurt if the network manager GUI program
would allow the user to set up the RFCOMM connection with a mobile phone
either, but I guess that would be a separate feature request.
