[Peter-Alexander <874900@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted a very quick solution. Thinking of finding a configuration file
or something to edit I came across this command:

nmcli nm wwan on

This does the same as checking the "Enable mobile broadband" in nm-
applet and doesn't solve the bug. But when run at system startup the
mobile broadband connection will be established. If the device is
removed and reinserted the "Enable mobile broadband" option is unchecked
again. So this doesn't solve the bug but makes life a bit easier for me
and maybe for some others until this is fixed so I thought I'll share it
here.

Has anybody reported this to gnome's bugzilla?
