Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi, from time to time my mobile broadband connections don't show up in the
networking drop-down menu. Instead I get "auto broadband" or words to that
effect. If I go through those steps and set up a new connection, it works
fine.
However, on the occasions that gnome-shell is showing my broadband
connections, I have a lot of ones for the same thing (since I have to
set it up afresh a lot of the time):
> $ ls /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/T*

I've discovered that restarting gnome-shell causes my existing connections
to show up again (via 'r' in the run menu). Restarting network-manager
also works, but possibly only because gnome-shell also restarts (because
it segfaults):
> [69324.401923] gnome-shell[3896]: segfault at 40 ip 00007f61d69f7b82 sp 00007fff85876740 error 4 in libgnome-shell.so[7f61d69b3000+9b000]
I think the connections are missing more often than not when I come to use
them. I mostly try to use them on a train, so it might be related to resuming
from sleep, I'm not sure. I'll try to see if I can detect a pattern.
