nm-applet cannot communicate with ModemManager on serveral Hardware

[João M. S. Silva]

Hi,

Maybe it has something to do with the order in which network-manager and 
modemmanager are started. What distro do you use?

Check my last message in the thread "error: couldn't find the 
ModemManager process in the bus":

I got help from ubuntu-devel-discuss and found a way to enable 
modemmanager without network-manager:

$ cat /etc/init/modemmanager.override
start on starting dbus
stop on stopped dbus

This makes it depend on dbus instead of network-manger, which I think is 
the correct dependence.
