** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
- I use Ubuntu 15.10.
- If I Start Ubuntu from power-off, then I can enter the PIN-code for the 
SIM-card, and I also get prompted for my password (to make changes to the 
mobile broadband device). The 4G-USB-modem gets green light for establishing an 
4G (or 3G) connection, but it is impossible to connect to the 4G-internet from 
the drop down menu of network manager at this stage; I get an error message. (I 
have set up this 4G-internet-connention with help from the network-manager 
wizard, using defaults, except turning off roaming and setting allow all users 
to connect.)
- However, if I choose to reboot without power-off, the green light on the 
USB-modem stays on during the reboot (keeps 4G-connected I presume), then it is 
possible to connect to internet from the drop down menu, most of the time. One 
time I also had to deactivate-activate mobile broadband from the drop down menu 
for internet connection to be established.
+ I use Ubuntu 15.10, I have done a fresh install formerly using 14.04 on
+ the same hardware setup.
+ 
+ If I boot Ubuntu from power-off, then I must sometimes enter the PIN-
+ code for the mobile broadband SIM-card, I also get prompted for my
+ password (to make changes to the mobile broadband device); however, most
+ of the time only my password is needed, and the saved PIN-code is used.
+ 
+ After entering my password the 4G-USB-modem gets green light for establishing 
an 4G (or 3G) connection, but it is impossible to connect to the 4G-internet 
from the desktop drop down menu of network manager at this stage; I get an 
error message.

+ broadband from the drop down menu before internet connection could be

  It is also not possible to edit the connections of the mobile broadband
  in the network manager applet (gets an error message). Editing the wifi-
  connection works just fine.
