My nm seems to work partially and have found that every now and then with upgrades and some package updates the nm does funny things. Based on this i prefer to work with wvdial . Initially it is a pain - it does not show if there is a signal or not etc. However over time one gets used to it.

I think it may be to do with the specific model. Huawei's we've used attach themselves to ttyUSB0 - however am not sure if this is a big problem (or even if its a problem at all) > > PS: if this doesn't work out, then I will have to switch to windows which > will not be a happy transition!!!! my suggestion is if it works in wvdial continue using it - and make your self a launcher right click on the desktop and click on "create launcher" in type - select application in terminal in name - give it anything you want in command - put in your wvdial command comment you can leave blank and if you click on the op left spring type icon you can select any icon that you like to indicate this is your wvdial launcher ** I have not answered your original query of why and how nm does not work but hope that this works for you and also hope other folks have a solution to your original query. Though i think you may get replies only if you are on the list. regards ram > -- Ram _________________________________________________________ http://www.munsiari.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
