[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#764224: Fails ModemManager connections since 0.9.10.0-3

[Guido Günther]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-3
Severity: normal

Hi,
running

    nmcli c up  "foo"

I get:

   Error: Connection activation failed.

foo is gsm connection:

[connection]
id=foo
uuid=470d0e7d-675c-4cdd-9396-53246e3b3363
type=gsm
permissions=user:foo:;
autoconnect=false
timestamp=1392415207

[gsm]
number=*99#
password-flags=1
apn=internet
pin-flags=1
home-only=true

[ipv4]
method=auto

[serial]
baud=115200

This worked until the dist upgrade that also brought in nm
0.9.10-3. The log has:

NetworkManager[859]: <info> Activation (cdc-wdm0) starting connection 'foo'

So it seem nm is terminating the connection itself. Using mmcli to
connect like:

    mmcli -v -m 0 --simple-connect="apn=internet"

still works as expected. Any idea what could have triggered this?
Anything else you want me to try?
Cheers,
