Subject: base: Network-manager no longer accepts phone for mobile broadband.<br>Package: base<br>Justification: breaks the whole system<br>Severity: important<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><br>I use a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone with Symbian.<br>
<br>I am on the road a lot, and I often connect the phone to my laptop with a USB cable.<br><br>Network Manager in Gnome has always recognized the phone, and allowed me to connect wirelessly to the Internet.<br><br>It works beautifully on my other laptops with Ubuntu and Fedora.<br>
It also worked fine on this perticular laptop---for a while.<br>Now, it no longer shows the mobile connection in the network manager.<br>It still works great with WiFi networks, but not the mobile broadband.<br><br>I don't know why or when it stopped working, but this laptop is now useless for surfing on the bus.<br>
I always keep my system up-to-date using nothing but the official repositories. Maybe an upgrade installed a newer version which has a bug in it?<br>I did not mess with any config files, as I am aware of.<br><br>My laptop is a ASUS eee 1005HA.<br>
