So here's the thing; we don't actually have good enough logic to retry connections when they fail, because for the longest time we didn't have enough information about *why* connections failed to determine whether it was sensible to retry them. Basically, regardless of the 'autoconnect' property, we want NM to attempt reconnection if the connection that just got disconnected was successfully connected when the disconnection happened. But we also probably want a 'reconnect' counter so that we don't keep retrying the connection indefinitely. Ideally this ties into each device's state so that if the 3G card is no longer registered to the network (you drove out of range, etc) that we don't try reconnection, but whatever. This likely means modification of nm-policy.c's 'invalid' bit to *not* set it for 3G connections that failed but were connected before.
