Not yet (as of 04/12/2007). My connection via sierra wireless card using kppp (device ppp0) is not shown when running nm-tool.

or gnome-ppp.

Have an Verizon WWAN card and a nTelos WWAN card.

nTelos is found, but I cant configure it or dial out at all. Device is always 'busy'.

(init string??)

the Verizon card works well, but you need wvdial installed post-install and scripts(had to piece them together) and need to manually run 'sudo pppd call <modem script>' by hand.

There should be a way to automate this.
These connections dont even show up in network-manager's list. The network connections take first priority.You cant disable LAN connections as network manager takes over them anyway.(it reenables the card, even if you sudo it off with ifconfig)

someone cut me a number please for fiesty.... this is confirmed with 8.10 to koala.

I cant use below 8.04, I need wifi drivers.

8.04 worked, all ubuntu's after that discontinued support for ppp0 and of course dial-up. This affects me quite seriously since there is no way to connect to the internet at all (no highspeed offered here), and no way to get gnome-ppp since it doesn't come with ubuntu either.

PLEASE GET DIAL-UP SUPPORT BACK IN NETWORK-MANAGER!!! Thanks. :D

As a temporary and very pathetic work-around: go to your windows PC, visit packages.ubuntu.com download gnome-ppp and it's dozens of dependencies including wvdial, etc, etc. Save them and return to Ubuntu, then install them all manually until you can get connected - then update the repos; leave comp on overnight. xP
