[Bug 59386] Re: Please simplify /dev/ttyUSB0 setup when installing gnome-ppp

[Colin McDermott]

I noticed that in configuring a usb 3G modem that the Detect option
detects the attached /dev/ttyUSB0

Yet this is not a listed option for selection. Is a screen tooltip
saying "please click detect if trying to configure a USB modem" a
warranted addition?

Else we would have to allow users to specify their own path to devices.

BTW "Although wireless USB modems are not yet extremely common" IMHO
they are getting pretty common in Australia especially with mobile
computing. The answer was always to go for the Ethernet variety but
support for usb 3g modems out of the box would be very helpful. It is
the first issue that I came across after setting up an ibm laptop for a
friend of mine, she knows nothing about linux!

Overall some helpful screen prompting for Gnome-ppp and usb would be
good.
