If the bug is really annoying for you and you can not wait for a proper fix, you can use a full automation workaround (bit complicated) http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm- mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service#version2
I decided for a less complicated workaround creating a script #!/bin/bash nmcli -t con up id "simyo" Note: "simyo" is the name of my GSM/UMTS provider and the name of the connection in the NetworkManager. See `man nmcli` for documentation. Then I bound that simple script to a keyboard shortcut (WindowsKey+F5). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848164 Title: Autoconnect to 3G network only works after manually enabling mobile broadband after modem inserted/bootup/resume To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/848164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
