Title:
wvdial does not allow blank username/password
Status in “wvdial” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: wvdial
The PPP dialer wvdial does not allow usage of blank username /
passwords. The file wvdial.conf is used to specify the ID/pw for a
dialup connection, however, the actual dialer refuses to dial if the
Username and Password fields are intentionally left blank.
This might be a problem for a lot of people, for instance, those using
GSM cellphones to connect to the internet via GPRS (as in my case). In
such cases, the phone used to dial the access number (*99# on most
carriers/phones) is used to identify the user account, hence no ID/pw
is needed. If any random ID/pw is set in wvdial.conf, the provider
drops connection. If no id/pw is set, wvdial refuses to dial!
Please allow specifically blank id/pw to be used.
This was tested on Dapper, cannot test on Edgy yet.
