Description Amit Shah 2011-05-09 09:41:33 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying out a nightly snapshot of F15 x86_64 devel iso from:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/desktop/

NM shows a mobile broadband connection is available, also shows the signal strength but doesn't connect.

Also, clicking on 'options' for the mobile broadband in the settings window doesn't do anything.

The airport mode always switches back to 'on' after closing the settings window and re-opening it.  Don't know if this is related.

I also have the same problem. I also tried hitting Alt F2 and running nm-connection-editor and added a new mobile connection in there and the Network Manager shows it trying to connect but constantly fails.

Comment 2 Amit Shah 2011-05-14 10:02:49 UTC
I just installed F15 (rc2) (upgraded from F13) on my desktop and mobile broadband continues to work fine.  I don't know if it's due to the upgrade (ie, some dependencies already exist).

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 15:58:40 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
