wvdialconf bug workaround

July 26, 2008 — BarryK

Rerwin found another strange bug when using 'wvdialconf' to probe for modems. The 'Modem' entry in /etc/wvdial.conf can get set to '/dev/modem', but /dev/modem is a symlink to 'modem', that is, to itself. Peculiar situation.

I have modified /usr/sbin/modemprobe to workaround that problem.
