[SRU]nm-applet not show wwan options on menu after logout/in

[Alex Tu]

[Impact]

With DW5811e(EM7455), mobile data connection not show on nm indicator after logout -> login.

packages which be used:
network-manager: network-manager_1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64
nm-applet: network-manager-gnome_1.2.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.4_amd64

Steps to reproduce:
1. boot device with 4G sim card + DW5811e(EM7455) wwan card
2. check nm-applet indicator then "Mobile Braodband" could be found in menu in normal cases.
3. logout then login
4. check nm-applet indicator then "Mobile Braodband" not shows in menu anymore.
5. but still could connect to wwan by nmcli, so looks device and networkmanager work fine.

[Test Case]

After upgrading to 1.2.6, using the previous "Steps to reproduce" should not be able to reproduce the bug any more

[Regression Potential]

Potential of causing regression is minimal as upstream fixes aren't significant enough.

Upstream is having a branch that should fix the issue, you might want to give it a try?

[Kent Lin (kent-jclin)]

The issue is fixed in network-manager upstream bug status, the solution was be merged to nm-applet, ver 1.2.

cherry-peak the patches to ubuntu's nm-applet package and it works.

Need to include those fix to Ubuntu's nm-applet package
