Note following standard software workaround: install KNetworkManager
remove network plasma-widget (right click widget, select Remove) add menu item for KNetworkManager (right click launcher, select menu editor, not sure why it doesn't add a menu item itself) right click KNetworkManager menu item and use options to place on convenient location (we use desktop and have a blueman icon too) fire up KNetworkManager connect phone with Blueman edit new rfcomm connection as necessary (only needed first time) Works just fine. Super. No idea why it doesn't work in shipping network-widget, I guess the middle is not the same (backend of course is). Was unwilling to use the one from Kubuntu-experimental as these are Dell Mini 9 netbooks being used by non-technical senior management and I had no idea what the dependencies were it wanted and how that might affect the otherwise stable installation. -- kubuntu jaunty plasmoid-network-manager can't use mobile broadband https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to plasma-widget-network-manager in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
