After configuring a broadband connection via an SonyErricson F3507g internal modem, plasmoid-networkmanagement simply will no connect.

After choosing the connection, it's starting to configure but after approx. 20s it says it can't connect.

There's no real hint in /var/log/Networkmanager:

Nov 20 13:38:44 systemtwo NetworkManager[1069]: NetworkManager[1069]: <info> Activation (wwan0) Stage 1 of 5 (Device Prepare) complete.

Nov 20 13:39:29 systemtwo NetworkManager[1069]: NetworkManager[1069]: <warn> Activation (wwan0) failed.

After changing to gnome nm-applet, connection is possible with same configuration data.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure broadband connection with KDE Networkmanagement Applet 
2. Try to connect

Actual Results:  
Connection fails after preparing connection.

Expected Results:  
Connect to broadband network

After onlineupdate as follows everything is working as expected:

bind-libs-9.8.1-4.2.2.x86_64 > bind-libs-9.8.1P1-4.4.1.x86_64

Bug solved for me and for now.

Kind regards, Peter.

Would have been an upstream bug anyway or was it specific to opensuse?
