Public bug reported: I use the Vodafone UMTS stick for my internet connection and the nmcli command to control my network interfaces.
When establish a connection over UMTS via: nmcli con up uuid <UUID of the connection> All works fine if the mobile broadband connection is offline, but if a connection is already established, it gets disconnected. When this happen it is not possible to reconnect. Neither over the nmcli command, nor the applet. Also a reboot of the computer does not help. Any reconnect attempt fail. The weird thing is the applet show the the "Vodafone UMTS" entry in gray under mobile broadband and white in another section of the context menu. The command "nmcli con status" reports only my lan connection. The only possibility to resolve this bug is to replug the usb stick. After this you can connect to the mobile broadband again. Calling the "nmcli con up" command twice with my lan connection is no problem. The problem only occur with the mobile broadband.
