Hi, with recent updates the Network Manager app use Modem Manager plugin, that permit to use external USB modem. If you don't use, want probably disable to avoid resources waste. You can do this disabling the Modem Manager D-BUS interface:

Code: Select all

sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.ModemManager.service.disabled

Hope can be useful!

I can't understand why, but

Code: Select all

"sudo stop modemmanager"

didn't do anything ; neither

Code: Select all

"echo manual | sudo tee -a /etc/init/modemmanager.override"

but your command worked perfectly!
Thanks it helps

I was curious so tried out the following two:

Code: Select all

sudo stop modemmanager
echo manual | sudo tee -a /etc/init/modemmanager.override

Worked perfectly for me.
