Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading in debian sid  (upgrade around the 2nd december 2013) on a
thinpad T430 with an
Ericson H5321 gw UMTS-Device The connection to the provider chrashes after
about 10-60 seconds.
The device disappears from networkmanager and after waiting some more seconds,
it reappears. One can now reconnect but
it breaks at every try.
Enclosed a log in daemon.log.
This fault was not visible before the upgrade.
To be sure that it is not a hardware Bug i tried it with an wvdial script i
used before (this also uses the ppp0 daemon).
The device and the connections works perfectly for minutes.

Thanks,

Hein


The important lines of the log file (too me) seems to be:

I asked in the modemmanager mailing list (see
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/modemmanager-devel/2015-February/001758.html)
and somebody finds the problem and posted a patch for 0.9.10, 1.0.0 and git
branch.

Now it should work.
