I saw an update for network manager was available last night, so I re-
installed Ubuntu 11.10 in the hope that it would work better.  It did
not.  Even though the Mobile Broadband configuration is set to connect
automatically it has to be manually re-connected at every power-on,
resume from suspend or hibernation, or after the signal is lost or
dropped.

Title:
  Mobile Broadband must be enabled after every power on, suspend,
  hibernate, or signal loss

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have auto connect set for my 3G mobile broadband connection, but at
  every power-on or resume from suspend or hibernate I have to re-enable
  mobile broadband before it will auto connect.  This is made worse by
  bug #566812 where a disconnect can also disable the mobile broadband
  completely.

  With 10.04 3G connections while on the move were reasonably robust and
  reliable, however NetworkManager under Ubuntu 11.10 is flaky and
  unreliable.
