[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#507843: network-manager: fails to connect to 3G until 'noauth' is added to /etc/ppp/options

[Will Thompson]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0-1
Severity: normal

Out of the box, 'noauth' is not set in /etc/ppp/options. In this state, 3G
connections will fail with no explanation given. Adding 'noauth' fixes the
problem.

'man pppd' says that this option is privileged. This might conceivably pose a
problem.
