Public bug reported:
Adapter: Verizon Broadband USB727 by Novatel Wireless 3G CDMA
This should cover all circumstances:
1) Remove card from USB port (nm should disconnect automatically).
2) Right-click nm-applet & select "Edit Connections..."
3) Select "Mobile Broadband" tab and delete entry (or entries).
4) Close "Network Connections" window.
5) Insert broadband card.
6) Once the device becomes 'managed', left-clicking the nm-applet shows that a
new connection has appeared - "Auto Mobile Broadband (CDMA) connection".
7) Click on it and you will connect.
8) Left-click on nm-applet again, and you see the Disconnect entry. Click that,
and you will be disconnected.
[The remaining steps can be done on or off-line, it doesn't matter. I
reconnected first.]
9) Right-click nm-applet & select "Edit Connections...", then select the
"Mobile Broadband" tab.
10) Select the "Auto ... (CDMA) connection" and click the Edit button.
11) Make the connection "Available to all users" and click Apply (type in your
password if needed for system policy, letting it remember doesn't effect the
bug).
Note: Changing this setting (in any way) WILL result in nm killing the
connection, forcing you to manually re-enable it. [Another bug?]
12) Close "Network Connections" window.
13) Left-click the nm-applet & select Disconnect.
You are still connected, there is no notify-osd bubble, nothing happens. To
disconnect, you have to disable networking, then re-enable networking
(right-click on nm-applet - the only check-box).
No logs go bold in log viewer, so it doesn't seem like anything is a happening
at all.
If I remove the "Available to all users" check-box, the connection is killed, I
re-enable it, and "Disconnect" works again.
