[Desktop-packages] [Bug 518480] Re: When out of credit, NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172
Ideally NM would tell the user she needs more credit. ** Summary changed: - NM prompts for password, doesn't accept it - Huawei E172 3G + When out of credit, NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172 -- 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/518480 Title: When out of credit, NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172 Status in NetworkManager: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I use a Huawei E172 3G USB dongle for my mobile braoadband internet connection (on Vodafone).

No, this isn't specific to credit status -- MM will ask for a password in some cases when the connection fails to be established; regardless of anything on the ISP network; the password it's asking may be the PIN, or the password for the APN user. Is this reproducible on 12.04? ** Summary changed: - When out of credit, NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172 + NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172 ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- 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/518480 Title: NM prompts for password but doesn't configure the mobile broadband interface -- Huawei E172 Status in NetworkManager: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I use a Huawei E172 3G USB dongle for my mobile braoadband internet connection (on Vodafone).
