I'd like to request that this bug be reopened, per Alexander Sack (asac)'s request at the Desktop Team Meeting on 2009-09-15: "Please test the new NM with a 3G modem if you have one."
I'm no longer experiencing the crashes as before, but I still can't connect. On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 9:31 PM, fluffman86 <[email protected]> wrote: > No crash report there.

Running Karmic Alpha 4 Netbook Remix on a Dell Mini 9, tethered by usb to a Nokia E71x. Jaunty worked perfectly out of the box. When I first plug in my phone, it is recognized on both ends as a modem. I can add a new Mobile Broadband connection fine, my phone is correctly recognized as a Nokia E71 (x), and I am correctly limited to only US GSM carriers (not CDMA). Once I try to connect, though: 1. The blue line around the green lights in nm-applet may spin rapidly, and never connect. 2. One green light may turn on like normal, but I get an error. - 3. After doing this some random number of times, nm-applet will usually crash and stop responding. I can kill it, but restarting only gives errors and I must reboot. I'll post more on this once I'm not actually using my laptop. - 4. Rarely, my whole computer will freeze with a possible kernel error, although I don't believe this has happened with the latest NM from trunk. I've tried running NM as released with Karmic alpha 4, plus the standard updates since. I've also tried the normal NM ppa, and the trunk PPA. - Right now: - apt-cache policy network-manager + Right now: apt-cache policy network-manager network-manager: - Installed: 0.8~a~git.20090820t182117.cb60390-0ubuntu2 - Candidate: 0.8~a~git.20090820t182117.cb60390-0ubuntu2 + Installed: 0.8~a~git.20090911t130220.4c77fa0-0ubuntu6 + Candidate: 0.8~a~git.20090911t130220.4c77fa0-0ubuntu6 Version table: - *** 0.8~a~git.20090820t182117.cb60390-0ubuntu2 0 + *** 0.8~a~git.20090911t130220.4c77fa0-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 0.8~a~git.20090818t172856.a8ca7f5-0ubuntu1~nmt2 0 - 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Nokia E71x Mobile Broadband does not connect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418368 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
