I am using wvdial 1.61, and when attempting to connect using "sudo wvdial" I get the following output:
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99***1#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99***1#
CONNECT 7200000
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Fri Apr 13 13:58:51 2018

wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:303: static int WvTaskMan::yield(int): Assertion `*current_task->stack_magic == WVTASK_MAGIC' failed.
Aborted
Here is my wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB1
Phone = *99***1#
Username = blank
Password = blank
Stupid Mode = 1
Baud = 115200
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","three.co.uk"
My modem is a Qualcomm Gobi 2000 in a Thinkpad T410. It has worked well under other operating systems.
I attempted to use version 4.6.1-7 of libwvstreams4.6-base as well, but this resulted in the same error.
I can provide additional information if requested.
Regards,
James Lacey
