Reproducible : should be 'always' - not sure what happened there. It is NetworkManager which is requesting to uncheck the checkbox, so there is a reason for that, even if it is a bug in NM. You should look at NM's log to see why it is disabling mobile broadband. My guess this is an upstream issue (in NM). If I am not mistaken NM disables all modems by default to save power. For more wierd that it sounds NM does not enable modems when you click on the Mobile Broadband checkbox. What it does is check if there is at least one modem enabled in ModemManager. If there is not any then it disables Mobile Broadband, which force Plasma to uncheck the checkbox. When you try to connect then NM enables your phone and from that moment on "Mobile broadband" is allows to be checked. By the way, which Plasma NM, NetworkManager and ModemManager versions do you use? Git commit 9255946a0dd8049aa4172b30952fbda05ed89ab3 by Lamarque V. Souza. Committed on 03/12/2011 at 23:35. Pushed by lvsouza into branch 'master'. Change mobile broadband (wwan) checkbox into a tristate checkbox. I do not know why NM sends a wwan disabled signal right after we send an enable wwan command, the checkbox bounces for while until NM finally decides to enable or not the mobile broadband state. The third state is "partically checked", represented by a dashed tick mark. BUG: 287794 M +5 -3 applet/nmpopup.cpp http://commits.kde.org/networkmanagement/9255946a0dd8049aa4172b30952fbda05ed89ab3 |
