Description Jacek Wielemborek 2016-06-10 23:08:06 UTC 
My sister recently complained to me that she couldn't figure out how to connect her USB LTE modem on KDE 4 on Fedora. I checked and the steps were to:



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Under KDE 4, the steps to configure the device are:

1. Plug in the device,
2. Open the network manager applet,
3. Click on the settings icon,
4. Add a new connection,
5. Out of a myriad of options, select one related to mobile internet,
6. Select the device,
7. Pick a country,
8. Select an ISP,
9. Assume it's all fine and just click OK in the "connection details" window.

Actual Results:  
I'm not sure what is the process like under KDE 5, but I assume it's similar.


Expected Results:  
Could it be possible to show a pop-up instead that would say "hey, we detected a USB modem. Select your country and ISP. If you need to enter some additional settings, such as login credentials, clicked >>advanced settings>>"?
