[Etienne <etsnyman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Same thing happens to me. I set up a mobile broadband connection, then
connect to the internet.

1. I am completely unable to edit the mobile broadband connection
2. I am not really connected to the internet. Firefox can make no connections, and I cannot ping any servers.

This renders my laptop basically useless. I am unable to do any work.

This is a critical bug and needs to be fixed, please!

Title:
  NetworkManager - error initialzing editor

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Error initializing editor
  settings/nm-settings-connection.c.995 - Connection didn't have requested setting 'ppp'

  Error occurs when attempting to edit existing mobile broadband connection.
  Editing existing Ethernet connections succeeds without error.

  This broke between 1.0.4-0ubuntu3 and 1.0.4-0ubuntu5

  The connection still functions correctly but its properties can no
  longer be edited with gui.
