Description Marius Kotsbak 2012-11-16 10:21:18 UTC 
Frequently I need to retry several times to get the connection completed, because of bad mobile network coverage. In these cases it would be nice if ModemManager would retry X number of times, where X could be e.g. 3 or 5.
Comment 1 Aleksander Morgado 2012-11-16 10:57:48 UTC 
This could be a new option in Simple.Connect(), e.g. "connection-attempt-retries" or something like that.
Comment 2 Pavel Simerda 2013-07-31 22:45:54 UTC 
As bug 667488 also covers lost connection, I suggest amending that bug report with the 'retries' request and marking this one duplicate.
Comment 3 Aleksander Morgado 2014-03-10 18:41:17 UTC 
Wontfix-ing it; connection retries better handled by the upper layers, if needed (e.g. NetworkManager).
