When the GSM signal goes too weak, the modem - obviously - hangs up. The difference when it is a user initiated hang up and when the signal goes weak is that Network-manager do not clean up modem-manager with ensure_killed()-function (when the signal is weak).
To establish a new GSM-link without restarting the computer the following can be done: sudo killall modem-manager NetworkManager nm-applet nm-applet --sm-disable (the last is not root) ** Package changed: modemmanager (Ubuntu) => knetworkmanager (Ubuntu) -- modem-manager connect problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
