[Bug 828423] Re: Mobile broadband GSM/HSUPA status doesn't update

 

That's very much how it's set up already. I'm guessing you're just
missing an update of the menu at this point, since in Natty it takes a
little while to update menu entries (fixed in Oneiric).

Could you please try this with the development release LiveCD and report
back to confirm that it now reports the correct speeds there?

Title:
  Mobile broadband GSM/HSUPA status doesn't update

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The status doesn't update unless I reconnect the connection. Sometimes
  it says GSM when I have way more bandwidth than what 2.xG supports
  (See the screenshot). Other times it says HSUPA when bandwidth is at a
  snails pace.

  The status looks like this:
  3 Internet (3 UK GSM)
  3 Internet (3 UK HSUPA)

  If the status correctly updated, this would be a useful feature. When
  bandwidth goes slow, I would be able to click on the NM applet and
  check to see whether I've lost HSUPA signal and fallen back to GSM.

  Ideally the status should be refined to support these 4 values:
  * '2.5G - GPRS'
  * '2.75G - EDGE'
  * '3G - UMTS'
  * '3.5G - HSPA'
