I just don't have as much time as I expected to be able to look into
this. Steps that still need to happen:
1- check whether this bug is still an issue in latest network-manager code.
2- if it is, talk to upstream, file a bug there so that it can be fixed there
for all distros, and we'll get the
Targetting to beta-2; I really really would like to see this fixed; it's
a simple enough change provided that upstream can agree that this
restriction is no longer needed / that we can find another way to
support spaces in the APN for the UI textbox.

I'd be tempted to drop that piece of code. Seems sane to allow modems to
fail by themselves if the APN is wrong, since in most cases I expect
(and hope) that the default values from m-b-p-i is what gets used, and
that we aren't missing too many of those.

Seems like this is with the NM code and I tend to agree with you larsen
on this and why not patch up the above code stub to include spaces?

To answer the last question, I'm in the Netherlands. However, I do not
own the hardware I was reporting this bug on, and I can not test the
different settings anymore.
Therefore I'm closing this bug report. I think that it should be
possible to set an APN with a space (as other platforms like Andr
What country and provider is this for exactly? If the values are
incorrect in NetworkManager, this needs to be corrected in the mobile-
broadband-provider-info project, but we'll need all the information
about that provider to be able to set the right values in the database.

Ok, I got my connection to work using an empty APN setting.
I have tried using minicom to get the dongle to accept "prepaid
internet" as an APN, and I still don't get how the Galaxy S phone
running Android will except "prepaid internet" as a valid APN. I've
tried a few different escape sequences,
