I basically have no personal interest in the mobile broadband stuff myself at this point, since my personal life pattern would make it insanely expensive (I'd only use mobile broadband while roaming internationally ...).

NetworkManager itself is pretty much completely undocumented, the stack we've put on top of it is not yet mature (though the code is readable). In doubt, catch wstephenson or me on IRC (#kde-devel on Freenode). Yes, one problem we’re having as well.

So it's a bug. I'll gladly report it if that helps KDE. Thanks for the reply. So it’s a bug. I’ll gladly report it if that helps KDE.

It's really great to see KDE and Plasma enhancing in even more areas. You guys rock! Regarding GSM/GPRS/3G/HSDPA/LTE connections, you could take a look at <a href="https://forge.betavine.net/projects/bcm/" rel="nofollow">Betavine Connection Manager</a>, which is an evolution of <a href="https://forge.betavine.net/projects/vodafonemobilec/" rel="nofollow">Vodafone Mobile Connect Card driver for Linux</a> rearchitected around <a href="http://wader-project.org/" rel="nofollow">Wader</a> (all of them GPLed). A working mobile broadband manager is a must-have for netbooks. BCM-core is a daemon which implements the D-BUS ModemManager API, so BCM and NetworkManager are able to work standalone or side-by-side. BCM-core supports more than 50 GSM/GPRS/3G/HSDPA/LTE devices and is the official Connection Manager for Linux from Vodafone. It's very easy to integrate a GUI with BCM-core, currently we have three: Wader-UI, BCM-UI and BCM-UI for Moblin (it was created before the MeeGo merge). BCM-core depends on gconf currently, but removing this dependency is in our roadmap. You would probably be also interested in <a href="https://launchpad.net/ntrack" rel="nofollow">ntrack</a> integration with Solid. <blockquote cite="ntrack aims to be a lightweight and easy to use library for application developers that want to get events on network online status changes such as online, offline or route changes.">. Thanks! Hi!
