Bug Description
Hello to all of you.
I am using a complete up to date Lucid on my Thinkpad T500 with integrated mobile broadband modem. The modem itself can be used without any problems.
The only thing is, that the "Disable mobile broadband" switch in the right click menu of network-
I can connect with the modem when mobile broadband should be disabled, and furthermore, when i disable via the switch, the device is not powered down.
This is not very nice on a laptop where energy is a rare resource.
I attached the corresponding lsusb -vvv part
This is what syslog shows when first clicking on enable mobile broadband:
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: (ttyACM0) opening serial device...
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: Modem /org/freedeskto
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: Got failure code 100: Unknown error
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: Invalid error code
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: Got failure code 100: Unknown error
Apr 6 11:17:15 localhost modem-manager: Modem /org/freedeskto
This powers up the device.
And then when clicking on disable, the following occurs:
Apr 6 11:17:26 localhost modem-manager: Modem /org/freedeskto
Apr 6 11:17:26 localhost modem-manager: (ttyACM0) closing serial device...
Apr 6 11:17:26 localhost modem-manager: Modem /org/freedeskto
But the device isn't powered down.
I can choose to connect both when the device is up and when the device isn't running yet (choosing then activates the device)

The same happens to be, with a different modem, so I think this is not related on how network-manager handles the devices.
