NM shows incorrect information for Mobile Broadband Connection

[martin]

9.10 Beta
NetworkManager Applet 0.7.996

In the edit screen of NM, the Mobile Broadband connection (Huawei Stick) status is shown as 'Last Used - 9 days ago' while it is actually connected and running.

Attempting to edit the connection requests a pswd which it normally doesn't do. Entering a pswd or not results in an error: 'Error initialising editor, insufficient privalegs'

Last-Used timers have been fixed in the Lucid release, if I'm not mistaken. That's definitely properly fixed in Precise at least :)

I'll close this as Fix Released -- please comment if this is still reproducible in one of the releases of Lucid or later; specifying exactly in which release the problem can be seen. Thanks!
