I have the same problem. This error appears after reconnecting a few times. The error is more frequent if the connection fails once due to GSM network problems. After the error appears the modem does not work again until I kill the "modem-manager".
IMHO following log message is the most important one: Apr 19 18:04:44 laptop-hostname NetworkManager: <WARN> stage1_prepare_done(): GSM modem connection failed: (32) Sending command failed: device is not enabled I have no clue what "device is not enabled" means, but it apparently prevents the modem from being used. ** Also affects: modemmanager Importance: Undecided Status: New -- USB Modem wont connect after modem hangup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
