Reassigning to modemmanager and setting priority to Medium, this appears to be relatively frequent/caught by many users.
Much of the issue comes from the fact that this particular device doesn't get powered on when connected; IIRC there has been some slight changes in powering methods for some devices, so maybe this got affected by these changes. It's just a side effect (fortunately) that "Enable broadband" happens to work to bring up the modem properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874900 Title: "Enable mobile broadband" option gets unchecked Status in “modemmanager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I could not configure nw-manager to autoconnect with mobile broadband.
