Hi,

Sometimes I get a WIP\_BEV\_CONN\_FAILED when I try to connect to the Internet. What is the correct procedure to go on from that?  
I used to issue a wip\_bearerClose() but it sometimes lead to the following problem:  
[http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1946](http://www.wavecom.com/modules/movie/scenes/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1946)

Should I rather use a wip\_bearerStop() instead? The WIP documentation is not very explicit about that. According to the state diagram it is not necessary, but who knows…

Thank you for your help!
