Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why
How do we get some attention to this patch and get it applied to the main source? This is a *major* issue for anyone running a persistent 3G connection. As a workaround, is there a way to unmark as invalid after nm decides to mark as invalid, other than disconnecting and reconnecting the device?

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why
The hard disk complaint actually only occurs at the same time as a network drop. I assumed they were somehow related to the 3G issue, because this occurs on several machines, each with identical hardware and disk image.

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why
(This thought was furthered by the fact that the USB modem in question is one that modeswitches, so it does have internal storage. Am I wrong in this assumption?)

Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why
Hi David, So is the harddisk device that complains the storage device on the 3G stick itself, or a different device altogether? If it's the same device I'd suspect that the 3G stick is resetting itself and momentarily disappearing from the system.

Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why
I maintain a persistent 3G connection on a remote device using network manager. However, every so often, the link fails and then does not restart itself. I managed to identify an occurrence of this in my syslog, but honestly I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. It seems that the machine thinks the device has been unplugged, but there's no corresponding log entry for it actually being unplugged. Would someone mind looking at the below syslog snip and guiding me in the right direction?
