Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

When a 3G device is present, NM pops up a configuration wizard for mobile broadband. This is a nice feature, unfortunately, if the user does not want to use mobile broadband, e.g. does not have a SIM card, the wizard will show up on every login. This mimics the Windows feature of new hardware present that you don't care about, and is very annoying. Of course, you can enter bogus information to get rid of the wizard, but this is not an acceptable solution.

Please only show the mobile broadband wizard once, and let the user edit connections if she requires the wizard at a later point in time.

This also happens here after upgrading to Maverick. It did not occur in previous ubuntu lucid release.

This doesn't happen in Natty and Oneiric, the applet only shows a link to the wizard in the drop-down menu; closing as Fix Released.

Changed in network-manager (Ubuntu):
