Description Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre 2011-01-25 21:08:08 UTC 
From a downstream bug report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/706500

The Network Manager applet in Natty has an "Enable Mobile Broadband" check in addition to "Enable Networking" and "Enable Wireless". When "Enable Mobile Broadband" is not checked, the mobile broadband connections are still listed (unlike "Enable Wireless" that when not checked no wireless networks are listed"), furthermore one can start a mobile broadband connection and it connects successfully even when "Enable Mobile Broadband" is not checked.
