[Lenovo Thinkpad T440S] frequent nm crashes and problems

[WishMaster]

Hello there,

since I have freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04, Network Manager seems to have more problems handling 3G connections than under 13.10:

1) The PIN code is not remembered. Even when I tick the "Unlock automatically" option and also input the PIN in the connection settings, the system asks me for the PIN on every startup. It is especially annoying because the dialog for the PIN also appears on the login screen and takes the focus away from when you are typing the password.

2) Malfunctioning connection interface. After the PIN has been entered, "Enable Mobile Broadband" has to be ticked in the nm-Applet. However, I always have to do this twice before the check-icon actually appears and I can connect.
When connecting, there is no indicator that the connection is being set up, instead the applet's icon shows the "not connected" empty triangle.

3) Connecting after suspend/resume does not work reliably. However, as there are more problems with suspend/resume on the T440S with 14.04, this will probably have to be dealt with separately.

As mentioned above, I have installed Ubuntu 14.04. I am using Unity and network-manager-gnome in version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.

I realize that you will need further information. Please let me know what you need to know in order to investigate the problems I have described.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I have testet it with the 3.14 mainstream kernel and there is no difference there. I also don't think remembering the PIN is a kernel issue.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
