Description Filip Pokryvka 2021-10-18 08:13:43 UTC

Description of problem:
In NetowrkManager-ci, we are using gsm_sim.pl script to simulate modem. That does not work with new gnome-control-center panel. When pressing the switch to turn "Mobile Network" on, the APN list shows up, we can create new APN, but it can not be activated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-control-center-40.0-16.el9_b.1.x86_64
ModemManager-1.18.0-1.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clone NetworkManager-ci repo: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager-ci.git
2. bash prepare/gsm_sim.sh modemu
3. try to activate modem in gnome-control-center

Actual results:
NetworkManager connection for APN is created, but can not be activated.

Expected results:
Connection should activate.

Additional info:
Connection can not be deactivated as well, if activated using "nmcli".
Connection can be activated with some physical modems.

Hey,

we have some progress here, NetworkManager-ci fix works standalone, but Lubomir made also fix for gnome-control-center upstream, too. It is simple one, if you have time Benjamin, please review. If we decide not to include it in RHEL, please feel free to close this bug (we can test g-c-c gsm panel now, with NM-ci fix).
