You have been subscribed to a public bug: On Ubuntu 17.10, from Gnome Control Center, try to create a new broadband connection, the connection is never created and the device is always off.
Tried to debug as described here, by stopping the services and then starting them in debug mode: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ModemManager/Debugging/ NetworkManager log after stopping and
