When I click "connect" in the mobile broadband submenu the assistant for creating a new connection should open, but nothing happens and the journal shows:

Sep 06 00:50:10 XXXXXXXXX gnome-shell[1507]: JS ERROR: Error: Argument string may not be null
                                             _packVariant@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/core/overrides/GLib.js:104:29

When I try to create the connection directly, the assistant fails at the end with:

Sep 06 00:55:56 XXXXXXXXX gnome-control-c[3357]: value "((NMSettingSerialParity) 110)" of type 'NMSettingSerialParity' is invalid or out of range for property 'parity' of type 'NMSettingSerialParity'

I'm going to reassign this to gnome-control-center.
If this turns out to be a genuine bug in network-manager, please
reassign back.
