help with sierra wireless 881U aircard
 
have been using sierra wireless 881U with intrepid 8.01 without problem but now when I attempt to connect it prompts me for an AT&T password. Anyone else with this new problem? Anyone with a fix?

What happens when you put in your password?

it simply clears the password line and asks again. I am entering the password I used when configuring the modem with KPPP. Whats wierd is that it worked fine for weeks then all of a sudden started this

Forgive a potentially stupid question....but did AT&T change anything? Has your account been updated/modified recently? And are you SURE that this thing works (i.e., no 'billing errors' on their part, causing your account to be locked?)

If it was working, something has changed, either on their side or yours. Did you run any updates? Modify any settings? And have you tried changing the password in KPPP?
