Comment 9 for bug 113270

Thank you for your debugging!

The old version of the plugin package can let you set up a connection without a PPP connection type. This is fixed in the newer version - there is always a default, so you can't ever create new connections that are unset. As gconf is a per-user system, I'm not sure if there is a good way of having, for example, the post-install script of the package set the ppp-connection-type for connections that don't have one already?

What version are you running, and if not the most recent package, are you able to test (links to edgy/feisty packages are listed earlier in this bug report) and see if the behaviour remains?
