[Bug 1502644] [NEW] nm-applet frequentyl fails with broadband activated

 

Public bug reported:

Lenovo Thinkpad X230-t, Ubuntu 15.10.

When the breadband device of my thinkpad is activated, nm-applet fails
to start most of the time. This leaves the user without any NM indicator
in the top panel.

I.e., users of computers with a broadband device cannot even connect to
WiFi, unless they know how to do so via terminal.

I.e.: Network manager fails to provide it's purpose on computers with
breadband devices. This heavily impairs usage of Ubuntu on these
computers.
