After
I complete a new mobile broadband connection, the dialog for input
mobile broadband password is showed (see the attachment file). The
"Connect" button can not be pressed unless anything is filled in the
dialog.
But if I fill anything and press "Connect", the
connection can not be established, and I get an error message in
daemon.log. The error message is like blew.

athena NetworkManager[902]: (NetworkManager:902):
NetworkManager-wwan-CRITICAL **: modem_prepare_result: assertion 'state
== NM_DEVICE_STATE_PREPARE' failed
My laptop is Thinkpad X1 carbon 4th Gen with Debian testing, the mobile broadband slot is embed.
Thanks to everyone!
