Description of problem: In a clean install of Fedora12 Beta I'm trying to set up a 3G modem (A Huawei E160 using the UK provider T-Mobile). One thing that I've noticed is that if I connect using the gnome panel applet, then disconnect I can't connect again until I've removed the dongle and plugged it back in again. This doesn't happen under the Windows application that T-Mobile supply with the dongle. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): etworkManager-pptp-0.7.996-4.git20090921.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-glib-0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.996-4.git20090921.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12.i686 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.996-4.git20090923.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to prvider 2. Disconnect 3. Try to connect again Actual results: First time the ppp link is brought up (doesn't work but that will be a separate bug report when I've got a bit more info), subsequently connection fails. Expected results: Repeated connections should work without having to physically unplug the dongle.

Not sure how that got assigned to perl-Algorithm-Diff - switching to NetworkManager.
Is this issue any better with latest rawhide?
It's no better with the current fc12, I won't have the chance to check with Rawhide for a few days at least
PS the connection does work though, the point at which I thought it didn't wasn't a clean install.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I have posted additional information at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541314
