I sometimes use mobile broadband to connect to the internet using an
ZTE UMTS stick model MF110

lsusb says about the device

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ZTE MF110/MF636


I use the gnome network-applet to manage the connections (nm-applet). I
configured a mobile broadband connection and I can kliuck on the nm-applet
tray icon and connect.

If i use the tray icon to disconnect, afterewards there is no entry in the tray
icons menu to connect again. It is gone somehow.

If I unplug and replug the USB UMTS adapter, the name of the broadband connection#
appears again in the menu and works as expected.

No reconnect without unplug-replug.
