Hi NetworkManager authors,
***********************************************************************************************************
What I except:
I want NetworkManager can auto-connect the GSM module in my board when
reboot every time,
So I set the 'connection.autoconnect' to 'yes' and set the
'connection.autoconnect-retries' to 3.
What I encounter:
I found that the NetworkManager auto-connect GSM module is not stable,
sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it is not ok
What I find:
I checked the log of NetworkManager in syslog and found that
NetworkManager tried to connect the GSM module only once in the condition
auto-connect failed.
I have set the 'connection.autoconnect' to 3 and why does
NetworkManager reconnect only once sometimes?
