xml to define a new plan for the australia virgin provider with apn 'VirginBroadband' (568 bytes, patch)

xml to define a new plan for the australia virgin provider with apn 'VirginBroadband'

When I bought a (Australian) Virgin Mobile Broadband pre-paid gsm modem, I couldn't get it working - the Au/Virgin/Default plan used a different APN to the one I needed, and I had to disable CHAP.

I've attached a patch which adds a plan for 'Virgin Mobile Prepaid' with the APN 'VirginBroadband'.

Is there any way to specify NOT to use CHAP? Or, can we provide a note to let them know to disable CHAP? 

It would be really good if users could just select the right plan and everything worked without additional instructions.

I've searched the virgin website, and can't find any reference to APNs, so I can't establish if my assumption that 'VirginBroadband' applies to pre-paid and 'VirginInternet' applies to post-paid.

Thanks.
