Description Anders Feder 2011-09-16 10:12:12 UTC 
NetworkManager fails to connect to my 3G provider at login, even though it is configured for automatic connection.

If you can help me debug this issue, I am willing to write a patch to fix it (if it is not too complicated).

Possibly related bugs: bug 554538, bug 658261
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2011-10-21 06:17:48 UTC 
0.9.0 removed the autoconnect option for 3G if the modem wasn't already enabled, but we're investigating how to bring that back.
Comment 3 Marius Kotsbak 2012-06-23 13:11:36 UTC 
Why was this behaviour modified and what are the plans for bringing it back?
Comment 4 Marius Kotsbak 2012-06-23 13:13:39 UTC 
There are a lot of downstream Ubuntu bugs about this:
