nm-applet frequentyl fails with broadband activated

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Lenovo Thinkpad X230-t, Ubuntu 15.10.

When the breadband device of my thinkpad is activated, nm-applet fails to start most of the time. This leaves the user without any NM indicator in the top panel.

I.e., users of computers with a broadband device cannot even connect to WiFi, unless they know how to do so via terminal.

I.e.: Network manager fails to provide it's purpose on computers with breadband devices. This heavily impairs usage of Ubuntu on these computers.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
