Going on business trip tomorrow, no umts now, ip config fails!

[cookie170]

I realised the last time I used the umts on this notebook was a month ago. Going on a business trip tomorrow, but there is a bug, somewhere…

This is a Lenovo T420s, UMTS used to work. I tried various kernels (3.7 - 3.9), but no luck. I’m using Tumbleweed, but updated to KDE 4.10.3.

I need urgently an idea, why the ip-config for the umts card fails?!

I might be wrong, but this sounds like the issue may be specific to your provider (or provider-specific configuration)

Review the settings in your NM config with these perhaps:

Germany - APN Changer and Data Sim Guide

Seems like the APN name has changed from
internet.t-mobile
to
internet.telekom

Thank you, I’ve changed that, but no success. Same message: ip-config-unavailable

Try deleting the connection and starting over.

I stumbled across this thread while searching:

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-March/msg00119.html

The behaviour is the same as you report, but I’m not sure about the same cause/regression…

[martin_helm]

Can you just for fun - as I do not know if that helps in any way - try
the setting (in the ip v6 tab for the connection) to set ip v6 as link
local?
Your problem sounds a bit similar to that

Try deleting the connection and starting over.

I tried with the new data and the automatic install, but in vain. I can not get an IP. The log has the same lines as posted before.

Well, I even updated the package mobile-broadband-provider-info.

Any ideas how to go on?

Review Martin’s post first, just in case…

[deano_ferrari]

Not sure what else to suggest. What does the following say about your network devices?

nm-tool

Thank you as well, I ticked the “Method: Link Local”, and to make sure, I rebooted. No success. But here is a log after booting, I only had to delete the lines which wifi connections have been checked, because they contain personal data.

if it were me in your position, I’d consider purchasing a cheap USB dongle for my journey (and swap SIM card out), but this may not be a practical option for you.

I’ve got an old one somewhere, but without you mentioning it I would never have realised that. Thank you again.

I’m glad that I could jog your memory. I hope it works for you until the other issue can be resolved at your leisure. Good luck.

SOLVED:

I went back to ModemManager 0.6.0.0-3.8.1. TW has 0.7.990, which was installed, but obviously does not work in my case.

I nearly suggested that I’m glad that’s all it was. A bug report should still be submitted when you get time.
