Comment 45 for bug 334122

For the latest two releses of plasma-widget-networkmanagment in Karmic, it is not even possible to get a connection with the Huawei-E270 any more (se comment #41 above). Using both the RC Live CD with:
 0.9~svn1029786-0ubuntu1
and a clean installed RC updated with:
 0.9~svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1
the error below is logged in the deamon.log and the connection fails right away.

Error: NetworkManager: <WARN> wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/2 failed to activate (timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service

Exact the same error is logge on Jaunty with KDE 4.3.2 from the Kubuntu Backports PPA and the plasma-widget-networkmanagment 0.9~svn1029786-0ubuntu2.1~jaunty1.

Deleting all connection entries, purging the PWNM package and installing 0.9~svn1023224-0ubuntu1 from:
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-networkmanagement/+publishinghistory
restarting and creating new connections entries makes connecting with the Hauwei-E270 possible again.

For Jaunty the same goes with the version found here:
 https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/staging/+sourcepub/735190/+listing-archive-extra

Not sure if the logged error from PWNM is coursed by the what peterh describes above as the version of PWNM isn't mentioned, but at least it must be caused by some changes to the latest versions of PWNM.
