What happens if you escape the # with a \? Same thing. Line now looks like: Phone = *99***6\# Going through bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of response. I'm assuming this still happens? Closing due to lack of response. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030801 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Description of problem: GPRS connections are almost exactly the same as modem PPP connections, but the phone number is a little different... From one of the entries in my wvdial.conf, created by redhat-config-network Username = test Password = test Phone = *99***6# If I start the connection through wvdial, it dials the number and connects. However, if I use ifup ppp0, some applications (I'm not sure which) seems to be disliking the perfectly valid phone number (and, even more oddly, the username and password). From my messages file: Oct 20 16:13:06 nailbox ifup-ppp: pppd started for ppp0 on /dev/rfcomm0 at 57600 Oct 20 16:13:06 nailbox pppd[5832]: pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0 Oct 20 16:13:07 nailbox wvdial[5850]: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53 Oct 20 16:13:07 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Warning: section [Dialer grrsbt] does not exist in wvdial.conf. Oct 20 16:13:07 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Initializing modem. Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Sending: ATZ Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: ATZ Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: OK Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Modem initialized. Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Configuration does not specify a valid phone number. Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Configuration does not specify a valid login name. Oct 20 16:13:08 nailbox wvdial[5850]: Configuration does not specify a valid password. Again, I've been hunting for the script that generates these messages and I'm still unsure. This may be a bug in another package. Thanks, Mike Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.28-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set up a PPP connection using a GPRS phone number 2.Start the connection with wvdial. 3.Start the connection with ifup Actual Results: wvdial works, ifup fails claiming the phone number, username and password are invalid. Expected Results: It shouldn't complain, as the phone number is perfectly valid, as are the other details. Additional info:
