Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I use a Huawei E172 3G USB dongle for my internet connection (on
Vodafone).
If the Vodafone 3G signal drops out for a moment (which in the real
world it often does), and then the signal reappears a monent later,
network-manager does not automatically re-connect to the 3G network -
leaving me with no internet connection. Manual intevention is then
required, by left-clicking on the applet icon and selecting my "Mobile
Broadband - Vodafone Contract" connection from the list. Manual
intervention should not be necessary - network-manager-applet should
automatically restart once a 3G signal is available again.
Technical details:
Distro Version - Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, 32-bit, default fresh install with latest
updates
Desktop Environment - GNOME 2.28.1 (Ubuntu 2009-11-03)
Kernel - Linux 2.6.31-19-generic
System - Athlon 64 3400 2.2GHz processor, NVidia 6800LE graphics, 1.5MB RAM
Network Manager Applet Version - 0.7.996
Modem - Huawei E172 USB stick on Vodafone with latest firmware
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click on NM-Applet icon in system tray.
2. Select "Edit Connections".
3. Click on "Mobile Broadband" tab.
4. Highlight the connection (in my case "Vodafone Contract").
5. Click on "Edit".
6. "Allow application access to keyring" box appears. Click on "Always Allow".
7. "Editing Vodafone Contract" box appears.
8. Put a tick in the checkbox for "Connect automatically" at the top.
9. Save settings and exit the box.
10. The next time no 3G signal is available, the internet connection is broken.
What happens:
As soon as a 3G signal is available again, network-manager-applet does
not automatically re-connect.
What should happen:
network-manager-applet should automatically restart once a 3G signal is
available again, without manual intervention from the user.
