Yes, it works, so the patch was successful. By net information I mean the string displayed directly under the applet's switch. I honestly have no idea why this has been changed for the latest gnome3, but back with the gnome2 applets gui I had there a string displaying net provider, signal strength and net type (UMTS, EDGE, ...)
I guess this information is still accessible via modem-manager (?) but just not displayed anymore. This information is still displayed after the mobile boadband device has been disabled. And as I assume that there is no possible way to keep the device powered off AND at the same time keep those information updated (because of movement of the laptop, i.e. in a train) I think it might be the best to hide that information once the device is turned off. But that's rather a gui issue and does not belong to this bug. Same applies to the problem that the gui switch is not enabled when connecting via a click on a connection (and previously disabled mobile broadband) Last but not least: No, I do not (and didn't or the test) use autoconnect. This could be a possible way to "solve" the gui problem for now. ** Attachment added: "net_information.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/816400/+attachment/3256647/+files/net_information.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816400 Title: NM can't power off Ericsson F3507g WWAN (but can power it on) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/816400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
