Public bug reported: I connect to a mobile broadband network through a Huawei USB 3G modem. I stay connected all the time.
Every once in a while, with almost systematic periodicity (like every 20-30 minutes), without any apparent reason, whether or not I am using the network or not, the nonnection suddenly goes down, and: - the indicator shows I'm disconnected, the - the mobile broadband networks (I have two of them configured, though I only use one now) disappear from the list in nm-applet - The option "Enable Mobile Broadband" at the bottom of the nm-applet menu DISAPPEARS (not that it gets unchecked, it _disappears_ completely) In order to reconnect I have to unplug and replug the usb modem, wait a few seconds for it to be initialized or whatever, and then reconnect via the nm-applet (when the nm-applet doesn't become unresponsive because of another old known bug). All the symptoms are EXACTLY as if someone had suddenly unplogged the modem physically, so this may as well be a usb problem. I have no idea what logs I should look for and attach.
