Bug Description

Binary package hint: mobile-broadband-provider-info

Wataniya is the leading HSDPA internet provider in Kuwait, the options for this provider are as following (as found on 3G Watcher software from Sierra Wireless on XP):

access point: action.wataniya.com
number: *99#
username: N/A
password: N/A
auth: PAP
ip header compression: off
data compression: off
dataflow optimization: yes
WINS: no
ip address type: dynamic IP
MCC/MNC: 419003

I would love to find this provider in the list for an out-of-the-box experience.

P.S. Sierra Wireless USB modem 875U is used, even if I selected a different provider for Kuwait (ironicly it's only Vodafone which never exists anymore) and then later edited the settings to match Wataniya, I don't get a connection.

OK call me a noob, but this all sounds like hocus pocus to me xD

Do I need to enable something to update the patch ? Is it going to be incorporated anytime soon into the auto-updates ? or do I have to add it manually, the patch I mean ?
