NetworkManager cannot disconnect mobile broadband connection

[Michael Stiller]

Binary package hint: network-manager

After establishing a mobile broadband connection, there is a "Disconnect" menu entry on the NetworkManager Applet, which does not work. The connection cannot be terminared.
Maybe this is also a dbus / NetworkManager.conf issue.

FWIW, I tried a mobile broadband card today. The first time I tried to use the 'Disconnect' command in Network Manager, it didn't work. But on two subsequent occasions, it did.

Using an up to date 9.04 installation (network-manager 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2)

Workaround: Right-click the panel icon, disable networking, then re-enable it.

@Michael: What's the model number of the modem?

Do you still have this problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 12.04?

Hi,

it's a long time ago, therefore i don't remember the type of modem anymore. Sorry about that.

Best regards,

Michael
