RE: [win32-loader] Updater
But the Loader only uses DHCP, not PPP protocol (I tried to install and this
was the problem). This is the problem. One would add also PPP (the user
could manually configure or the program could try to configure as much as
possible).
If you want I can give the web address of the driver, so one can include the
protocol (PPP) and the driver in the Loader. There is no any problem for
this.
Regards.
Pedro.

There's no reason why a USB modem driver needs to depend on wvdial, those
packages are simply wrong.
What we need is to get working code for that device so that it is merged in
upstream Linux and eventually supported with no need for ugly kludges.
