Bug Description

The broadband plan for "Telstra Bigpond" (http://go.bigpond.com/wireless/) is not listed in the dropdown for "Select your plan" when I create a new mobile broadband connection. The APN for this plan is "telstra.bigpond".

Confirmed, BigPond is missing from mobile-broadband-provider-info; reassigning to the correct package.

By any chance, and I'll just guess that you've manually added that entry already; can you confirm that there is a need for a personal username and password for that provider, but only the APN is required besides it. We need to make sure that DNS information is provided automatically by Telstra.

Thanks!

Yes. I just tested this. I had to specify the APN as "telstra.bigpond" and set the username and password. Everything else was left as default.

It appears to get all the IP/DNS/etc. from DHCP. The Speed under the General heading is listed as "Unknown", and the Hardware Address is blank.

Any chance of this getting into 12.04 final release? I just checked the upstream git at http://git.gnome.org/browse/mobile-broadband-provider-info/tree/serviceproviders.xml and it hasn't yet been committed there.
