Are you running Fedora 21?
And are you trying to establish a Broadband Connection?
And you can not get it to work?
And I used to work nicely under Fedora 19 & 20?
This is caused by the fact you try to establish the connection, and your Gnome desktop does not ask you for your PIN (anymore).
Here is what I did:
- Make sure you have the nm-connection-editor RPM installed on your system.
- sudo nm-connection-editor
- Add [Next]
- Mobile Broadband [Next]
- Select the Broadband device [Next]
- Select your Country [Next]
- Select your Provider [Next]
- Select your Billing plan [Next]
- [Apply]
And now the most important thing to make it work:
- Enter your PIN and press [Save]
- [Close]
Now your Mobile Broadband connection should appear on the top-right side of you Gnome desktop.
OR:
if you already configured you mobile connection, and you only want to fix the pin: Then use nm-cli and enter these commands:
- nmcli connection show
- Now copy the UUID of your Mobile Broadband connection
- nmcli connection edit <your UUID>
- set gsm.pin <your PIN>
- save
- quit
- yes
I hope this workaround is useful for you.
