I've been seeing this error a lot after installing a new Jessie
machine for my mother. She uses a USB 3G modem, and it used to work
very well in Wheezy. Since switching over to the new Jessie machine,
nm-applet keeps on aborting shortly after the USB 3G modem is plugged
in.

With this patch applied locally, things now work and the modem is
usable. Please apply the fix, and a stable upload would be lovely too.

There's someone in my head but it's not me
