That one? No, it is normal. It finds the permissions different from what you defined, so it changes them and tells you.


Ah, not a plain modem, then, with a proprietary driver.

I suppose you don't need reinstalling the driver, but loading the
pertinent module.

Can you tell how to load the pertinent module?

No, no idea, I have never used cdma. But I understand you got it working at last.

But the most important, now I could dialup with wvdial as a normal user. Here follows the connection output, which I felt was somewhat long and contained many messages. Does this look ok, or is here something that can be corrected somewhere? (Just to mentione, I'm also connected with a wired ADSL/Network Manager at the same time):

Possibly the configuration is not totally correct. Doesn't matter if you use the gnome dialer, because it overrides the default.
