Bug Description

Binary package hint: mobile-broadband-provider-info

Currently this package ships one vodafone (D2) profile, which has web.vodafone.de as APN. However, that does not work with the "WebSessions" tariff, which is an "on demand" one with no registration or regular fee, you just pay by the hour:

http://www.vodafone.de/privat/tarife/datentarife-websessions.html

This needs a different APN. Therefore I propose to add a new profile:

        <provider>
                <name>Vodafone (D2) WebSessions</name>
                <gsm>
                        <apn>event.vodafone.de</apn>
                </gsm>
                <username>vodafone</username>
                <password>vodafone</password>
                <dns>139.7.30.125</dns>
                <dns>139.7.30.126</dns>
        </provider>

I tested it with my brand new USB stick (Huawei E620), and that works perfectly.

Thank you!
