I have a Fujitsu Lifebook E751vPro with an integrated 3G USB Modem. This used to work flawlessly with kde, networkmanager, modemmanager and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement. Now I upgraded my laptop with pacman -Syu and mobile broadband connections don't show up anymore in kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement. I have all testing repos enabled. on my x86_64 system installed: linux 3.4.3-1 kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement 1:0.9.0.2-1 networkmanager 0.9.4.0-6 networkmanager-dispatcher-openntpd 1.0-3 networkmanager-dispatcher-sshd 1.0-2 networkmanager-openvpn 0.9.4.0-1 modemmanager 0.5.2.0-2 mobile-broadband-provider-info 20120614-1 For additional info see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143506 |

I searched the web and the arch forums, believe me. Besides the cited part of the changelog to kernel 3.4.3 I found nothing related to my problem AFAICT. And they talked about an Aircard 320U++ while mine is one of these:

I will provide additional infos gladly, but I'm no coder, I'm a user. Without any additional help I am at an end here.
thanks for opening my eyes for the obvious. To my shame I have to admit that I didn't even think of this...
So I downgraded to 3.3.8 and guess what? It works again. This definitely is a kernel bug. This said, how can I manage to drive their attenton to it without killing me for posting on the wrong list/ to the wrong person?
