GPRS doesn't work in M3

[dylan.semler@…]

This is my first ticket so hopefully it's useful. In M2 I was able to use the short shell script provided on the wiki[1] to establish a GPRS connection through the framework. This no longer work in M3.

I see this line here:

ogsmd.pdp INFO     configuring ppp for user 'x' w/ password 'x'

I doubt that's correct for T-Mobile. Please try again with "" for user and password. MS2 did not care for user and password settings, MS3 does care :)

As reported on the ML, starting GPRS with

mdbus -s $BUSNAME $OBJECTPATH $METHODNAME $APN "" ""

still does not work. I've just attached the log files (frameworkd2.log, etc.) that are generated when using this mdbus command.

gprs doesn't work for me either, logs attached. two different outputs i got out of ppp, and the framework debug output (stripped battery data)

launching ppp with commandline ... 'user', '"x"']

reveals the problem. The username should not have quotation marks. With the following patch I can start a GPRS connection again with 0.2.0-git20080909-2 (note that the patch is against git HEAD of debian branch and not the package I really use):
