Package: network-manager
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: normal

Upgrade from 0.7.0-99 broke ability to run mobile broadband connection using this HUAWEI modem. I've further upgraded to 0.7.1-1 now, problem remains.

Have tried deleting & re-creating the connection definition in nm-applet's edit connections.

Have tried logging in as root and creating a connection in nm-applet as root, still fails the same way.
