Description Swami Dhyan Nataraj (Nikolay Shaplov) 2012-01-10 06:33:58 UTC

Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

In India Vodafone mobile operator there are two possible connections with apns: "portalnmms" and "www". First one is chosen by nm wizard as a "default" connection. Through "portalmms" is not internet connection at all, it is for downloading provider's content only. So internet does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
New mobile connection/India/Vodafone. Default connection will be "portalmms" which is not internet connection



I also have a solution of this problem: modern mobile-broadband-provider-info now contains information about apn's purpose (internet|mms|wap), and I think that mn-connection wizard should offer only thous apns which is for internet usage.

Here goes an attached patch, that do this thing. (Be sure to check that your serviceproviders.xml has <usage type="internet"/> tags in it, before testing this patch ;-) )
