1) We do not need wvdial. This works easily with pppd and chat alone - wvdial is just another abstraction layer that doesn't simplify anything (you still have to configure everything that you need to configure in pppd and chat), so I don't see the need for wvdial at all.
2) Implement pppd/chat-based mobile broadband as a netcfg connection.
3) Implement pppoe and pptp as netcfg connections.
4) Implement support for creating netcfg profiles in AIF.
IMO, this is the way to go. It isn't difficult, it just needs some time and someone to do it (it's on my imaginary TODO list which is growing and growing - meaning I won't do it any time soon).
I agree, but couldn't wvdial be used until someone implements it properly with netcfg?
