Bug Description

Binary package hint: mobile-broadband-provider-info

Finland / Sonera operator information is wrong, because wrong operator settings were committed under it. Now it gives a confusing default when setting up mobile broadband of an APN which has the name of the another operator in it. Normal users won't notice it probably, leading to non-functional Internet connection, or cancel the operation because they notice it and the second option about "pre-paid" (which happens to have correct apn) sounds scary / costly.

Please import upstream fix 4728ca69c5706e437541ec51920efbc50b515866 (http://git.gnome.org/browse/mobile-broadband-provider-info/commit/?id=4728ca69c5706e437541ec51920efbc50b515866) that puts the Saunalahti operator settings in its section and restores the correct Sonera operator setting.

The patch it attached in comment #7.

TEST CASE:
Attach mobile broadband device. When doing the setup, choose Finland for country and Sonera for ISP. You should then see that apn "internet.saunalahti" is suggested instead of "internet" (saunalahti being another ISP completely which happens to use its name in its apn).

...but only in the development version of Ubuntu, not the released 10.04 LTS. Which is of course why there is a nomination for lucid in this bug report, to get it into the long-term supported release since that's what most people are going to use until 2012. The currently offered default setting gives non-functioning Internet connection to the Sonera customers.

So, two alternatives:
1. Sync 20100507 from Debian testing, which happens to be identical to tagged 20100510 release: http://git.gnome.org/browse/mobile-broadband-provider-info/log/.
or
2. Apply the attached patch which only corrects this one problem (the minimal patch approach mentioned on SRU wiki page)
