Description John-Michael Mulesa 2015-05-18 04:29:31 UTC 
Description of problem: NetworkManager doesn't detect my mobile broadband even after installing gobi_loader, the firmware, and verifying the USB mode switched.

Comment 1 John-Michael Mulesa 2015-05-20 02:59:11 UTC 
Was able to fix the issue. The problem here is that ModemManager is not started by default in Fedora 22.
Comment 2 Berend De Schouwer 2015-06-27 06:59:17 UTC 
Same here, clean install of Fedora 22.

I checked /var/log/dnf* -- no ModemManager updates installed.

[ ~]$ systemctl status ModemManager
● ModemManager.service - Modem Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)

Vendor preset says enabled, but it was disabled.  RPM post install bug?
