These are not supported in NM. The main reason is that these modems can't be automatically detected. Most of these are softmodems requiring closed source binaries and being a dying technology doesn't help either. So we're back to your original bug report. :) The reason why wvdial can't update your /etc/resolv.conf is that the script (netconfig) that modifies that file refuses to do so when NM is used for networking. There have been other similar bugs and the resolution has been "works as designed". If NM doesn't provide the functionality you require and "traditional method" does, then there's no other way than to use the method that works. Mixing the two does not work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
