can you check the XML with ./network-conf --get? that's pretty strange.

it's the content of the "wvsection" XML tag

Sorry, but I have no experience at all with this kind of devices :(, I'd
like to add support to more connection types, but obviousy I need help
to get this done, as I can only test what I have :)

there already exists ./network-admin --ppp-connection
and ./network-admin --configure ppp0, but It could be really nice to
have a more dialer-oriented gui for this...

But if you accept my advice, I'd recommend you to avoid wvdial for doing
PPP stuff, wvdial.conf is not user readable, allowing only PPP dialing
to root, all the new distro support is being done with the distros' PPP
stack, and with some time I'll move all distros to this. I think that
this is essential for having someday a user-side PPP dialing app

this is already handled in the CVS code :), the 0.33 release should be
here soon...
