[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#563560: network-manager: No sharing of network connection for both sessions.

[Frederic MASSOT]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.2-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

I connect to the network with Huawei E220 3G USB modem with NetworkManager
under Gnome.

When my Gnome session is open and the screensaver is running, if my wife wants
to open her Gnome session, Network Manager is no longer available and the
network connection is disconnected.

Before I was using Vodafone Mobile Connect
(https://forge.betavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec) and the network connection
was available for all sessions.

We are both part of group dialout, plugdev and netdev.

Regards.
