[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#591483: NM does not work with dun-connections after update.

[Alberto Garcia]

I'm not sure if all these problems have the same root cause, but I'm
also unable to use my Nokia N900 as a bluetooth modem after a recent
upgrade (it used to work around october 2013 or so). It works fine if
I do it via USB, there's a "Mobile Broadband" entry in the NM dialog
which I can use to set up the connection.

If I go to the bluetooth settings dialog, choose my phone and click on
"Access the internet using your mobile phone (DUN)" it tries to detect
the phone configuration, but after a while it gives up with "Error:
timed out detecting phone details".

I have the following packages installed:

   mobile-broadband-provider-info  20130915-1
   network-manager                  0.9.8.0-5
   network-manager-gnome            0.9.8.4-1
   modemmanager                   0.5.2.0-2.1
   bluez                              4.101-4
   gnome-bluetooth                    3.8.1-2

I can however make it work without network manager like this:

# rfcomm connect rfcomm0
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX on channel 1
Press CTRL-C for hangup

and then launch wvdial or gnome-ppp.
