Public bug reported:
On an install of the Lubuntu Pangolin beta, the package modemmanager is
missing from the default loadout. This causes networkmanager to be
unable to manage mobile broadband connections. There should be enough
room to install modemmanager considering Lubuntu still includes a basic
games package in its .iso.
Anyway, manually installing modemmanager in synaptic lets networkmanager
to handle mobile broadband connections. The thing is, an "average user"
might not have the foresight to install this tiny package and thus could
end up in a sudden bind when their mobile broadband connection never
becomes available. It could also cause trouble if a user is doing an
installation where mobile broadband is the only form of internet
connection available. In such a case, modemmanager is impossible to
install because the network connections that depend upon it are
unavailable.
