Bug#507842: network-manager: fails to connect over 3G if ppp is not installed

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0-1
Severity: normal

If 'ppp' is not installed (as is relatively likely, as currently
network-manager does not depend on it in any way and soon will merely Recommend
it) 3G connections immediately fail with no explanation.

This situation should be handled more gracefully.
