I made a workaround based on rpr-nospam's(#12) post. It's a bash script for detecting the modem and then connecting it.
#--------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash wwanstatus=`nmcli nm wwan` wwadevnstatus=`nmcli dev` until [[ $wwadevnstatus == *ttyUSB2* ]]; do sleep 5 wwadevnstatus=`nmcli dev` done sleep 5 until [[ $wwanstatus != *deaktiveret* ]]; do nmcli nm wwan on nmcli con up id "CBB Mobil Standard" sleep 2 wwanstatus=`nmcli nm wwan` done #--------------------------------------- Note 1: "CBB Mobil Standard" is my connection's name. Note 2: You can use the modem's device name as I did or just use "gsm". Use "$ nmcli dev" to find out what the modem is called. Then replace "ttyUSB2" with the correct name or just "gsm" Note 3: Replace "deaktiveret" (Danish for disabled) with what your translation of "disabled". Find it by entering: "$ nmcli nm wwan" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874900 Title: "Enable mobile broadband" option gets unchecked To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/874900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
