Created attachment 863175 [details] screen shot of open applet with connection and the text Uitgeschakeld Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.9.0-8.git20140123.fc20 steps initial: the broadband connection is reported as switch off (Uitgeschakeld) 1) connect to an previously provisioned broadband connection 2) wait until the connection is up The applet still reports it is switched off (Uitgeschakeld) were in fact a connection was esteblished and is functioning.
The applet is part of gnome-shell, re-assigning to it. Consider updating NetworkManager as you are using an old one, and gnome-shell as well. You can check active connections in command line with: $ nmcli con show active or $ nmcli con show -a (in latest NM version of testing repository)
Thanks Jirka I believe this is the latest version that is offered in Fedora 20. Ran an update just now. Is the problem with the gnome-shell or with NetworkManager? I do see a packages called yum-NetworkManager-dispatcher.noarch which is on 1.1.31-20
This could be a translation error. But we (dutch people) need to know.

Created attachment 863731 [details] Modem appears as switched off where it has a connection In this settings dialog screen shot one can observe the broadband modem opperational with a DHCP assigned IP address and DNS server. Also the status is connected (verbonden). Yet, the switch appears as off (uit) not on (aan). It seems the component is not able to obtain a proper status from the modem driver.
(In reply to Johannes from comment #3) > This could be a translation error. But we (dutch people) need to know. It appears not to be a translation error as both the menu and the dialog show a switched off modem.
nmcli shows that "Orange Internet Everywhere - Postpaid" connection is active. So, that really seems like gnome-shell applet issue (the applet from the first picture) and gnome-control-center (the picture from comment #5). It still may bee helpfull to see output of 'nmcli gen status'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
