I don't know how to better formulate the question. I have enabled the Mobile Broadband, and the system correctly detects that I have a Vodafone CZ HSUPA connection available on the SIM card. However, the item is non-clickable. I suppose it may be a problem of permissions to the device, but I have no idea whether this is correct.
Some technical information:
- system: Fedora 20 with Mate 1.8.1
- computer: Toshiba Satellite with Intel i5
- modem: Huawei K5150 (It is in the correct mode even though the log below shows it's in the mass storage mode; the mode handling has changed recently in the kernels, but the modem itself blinks blue for modem mode not green for mass storage mode).
