Description of problem: Clicking on Network settings from the taskbar and then on the options button in the Mobile Broadband page does not open any other dialog. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Beta Live CD x86_64 How reproducible: Always repeats. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plugin any Mobile Broadband device recognised by Fedora. You should see "attached to ttyUSB0" etc in dmesg | tail. Also /var/log/messages will say that the port will now be used by NetworkManager. 2. Open Network Settings from the taskbar and goto Mobile Broadband page. Click on options. Nothing happens ! Actual results: An options dialog/window should open. Expected results: Options dialog/window does not open. Additional info: To connect by Wireless USB Broadband stick (Manufacturer : Huawei, Service Provider : Reliance, Country : India) I had to do it via the old network manager settings pane (that available in fedora 14). Just press super(windows logo) and type net. There are 2 results; the first is the new network manager (gnome3), the second is network connections. From the network connections, I could add a new connection, enter username password etc and then connect to the internet.
This bug also occurs for Fedora-15-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop running as a Live CD. Additional info: Wireless USB Broadband stick: Manufacturer: Novatel Model: MC760 Service Provider: Virgin Mobile USA (Sprint CDMA 3G Network) Alias: Broadband2Go Country: USA Tried Elison Niven's work around for setting up a Mobile Broadband connection. Doing that allowed me to set up a connection but I could not establish a connection. Instead, I was able to make a connection after setting up the files /etc/wvdial.conf and /etc/resolv.conf and then executing wvdial from a terminal window.
The same happens in a freshly updated Fedora 15 system. I successfuly connected after setting up connection through nm-connection-editor. lsusb: Bus 001 Device 009: ID 12d1:1406 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
Same here. The modem is correctly enabled and automatically registered in the network: a new list item "Orange@" (in my case) is added after the ModemManager switch in the NM applet. But then there is no way to tell NM to really connect to that network, as that newly created list item is not clickable. As Pavel said, creating a new broadband connection setup with nm-connection-editor solved the issue. Once created the new connection, it is shown in the NM applet after the non-clickable one, but the new one is really clickable and will make the modem connect. This is kind of an important bug I would say, it's completely preventing normal usage of broadband modems.
Thanks Aleksander for a more precise description than I provided. Yep, the important point is when the network information shows up but is not clickable and thus not connectable. I cannot guess what was the autors' intention. But that also means the current system is not intuitive at all, otherwise it should be easy tu guess what & how to do.
I can reproduce this. NetworkManager-0.8.998-4.git20110427.fc15.i686 ModemManager-0.4-8.git20110427.fc15.i686
The following patches implement the missing bits for Mobile Broadband in control-center. Namely, Options button opens the connection (when it's active) in editor the same way Wired, etc do. Also, On/Off switch is implemented and displaying info is fixed. The main issue of the bug is not addressed, though. If there is no connection present for Mobile Broadband, then Options button is disabled. The issue should be probably solved by applet that should create a connection when mobile network entry is clicked.

Have a same problem with Nokia 6120c
Although everything worked automatically, that is the mobile connection was created and clickable after the provider dialog, the open button still does not work so I could enter the DNS addresses. I did set it via nm-connection-editor

Gianluca that is a different bug. I would suggest filing it against usb_modeswitch. You should google and see if your device is allready supported by upstream.

This bugreport is pretty old, patches upstream, older Fedora release. Worth closing?
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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
