** Changed in: network-manager Importance: Unknown => Medium -- NM prompts for password, doesn't accept it - Huawei E172 3G https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518480 You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to NetworkManager. Status in NetworkManager: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager I use a Huawei E172 3G USB dongle for my mobile braoadband internet connection (on Vodafone). What happens: Approximately 40% of the times where I boot my machine and load my Desktop, Network Manager throws up a password box that says "A password is required to connect to "Vodafone Contract" HUAWEI Technologies HUAWEI Mobile" (see screenshot). However, it does not accept my password. There appears to be no pattern to this. This happens when no changes have been made to my system - no recently installed updates etc. On one occasion it didn't happen for as long as five days, on another occasion it happened on four reboots in a row - it really does seem completely random. The only option is to open network-manager-applet, delete my mobile broadband connection settings, then run the connection wizard again to re-apply them from the beginning What should happen: Network Manager should not prompt me for a password for my 3G dongle when I load my Desktop. I should not have to delete my 3G mobile broadband settings in network-manager-applet, and then go through the wizard again to re-apply the settings.
