Description M. Scherer 2014-07-13 15:07:23 UTC
Description of problem:
After plugging my mobile phone with usb on RHEL7, i did see that a new menu item appear in the network menu icon in gnome-shell, named "Auto broadnband". As I wanted to configure my phone to used it as modem, i clicked on it. Nothing happened.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-3.8.4-32.el7_0.x86_64


How reproducible:
Each time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug a phone ( a galaxy S II in my case )
2. Click on 'auto broadbnad' in the network menu
3.

Actual results:
Nothing

Expected results:
Likely a network manager popup should appear.

Additional info:

So, due to interface change in RHEL 7.2, I cannot reproduce it. Not sure if it should be closed or not.
