[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#522615: network-manager: mobile broadband connection not shown in menu

[Paul Menzel]

Subject: network-manager: mobile broadband connection not shown in menu
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.0.99-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


I try to set up an Option UMTS modem [1].

The driver hso is loaded

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
hso                    35092  0 
rfkill                 11908  2 hso

and the devices are created

$ ls -l /dev/ttyH*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 249, 0  5. Apr 11:41 /dev/ttyHS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 249, 1  5. Apr 11:41 /dev/ttyHS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 249, 2  5. Apr 11:41 /dev/ttyHS2

I created a mobile broadband connection right clicking the applet,
choosing mobile broadband, add, insert some values, apply. This
connection is shown then in the connection editor. But left clicking on
the applet this connection is not shown in contrary to [1].

The user is in the dialout group, but not netdev, but PolicyKit is
installed so according to README.Debian this should not be the problem.

Do you have an idea, what might be causing this bug?


Thanks,

Paul
