Afternoon folks, I know that Fedora 18 is kinda obsolete but for a number of reasons, I have to stick to it for the time being. However, I am quite sure that this problem/behavior isn't restricted to F18. But since I am using that, ought to say that.
So, here is the problem. I have a ZTE K3800 dongle which I use for wireless/3G connection, provided by Vodafone. When I plugin the device, it prompts to connect and works. Problem is, as soon as I connect, systemd sends a signal 15 to network-manager and the applet disappears from system tray. Therefore, if I try to configure VPN, I find no option. Note that, I am only trying to configure from the nm-applet. lsusb shows me this Bus 001 Device 005: ID 19d2:0117 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x19d2 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM idProduct 0x0117 bcdDevice 0.00 iManufacturer 3 ZTE,Incorporated iProduct 2 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM iSerial 4 MF6560ZTED010000 Now, when I insert the device, I get this.

BTW, this article gives some clues but I don't have the configPack.tar.gz file to clone. http://simko.home.cern.ch/simko/usb-3g-modem.html Any help will be appreciated. Also, if any other information is required, do shout and I will provide. Thanks, Soham
