Description Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre 2015-04-13 15:54:41 UTC 
As reported downstream:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1181128
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1418260

Looks like nm-applet sometimes will crash in the code for broadband modems, due to a missing devinfo struct for the device. Seems to me like this shouldn't ever happen if the devices get properly found and populated as nm-applet starts (or as they appear), but it does.

it's not ubuntu specific, similar reports on fedora are shown on https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/352711/
