[Solved] GNOME Shell 3.36: Mobile Broadband Menu missing

Hello,

I've newly installed Arch on a Thinkpad X390 with Fibocom LTE modem.

Unfortunately in the Gnome menu (at the right top) the entry for mobile broadband/WWAN is missing. Wifi and VPN are there.

After a fresh reboot also I have to call `mmcli -L` once to trigger the modem to recognized. I can start a WWAN connection in the Gnome network settings panel (this also doesn't make the menu item appear).

I looked through all relevant Arch wiki pages for some package/step I missed.

Anyone has a clue where to look or even how to fix this?

Best,
erik

I've just run into this after upgrading.  I believe this is a regression in Gnome as the previous Gnome Shell version (I think I had 3.35 installed) had the WWAN available in the menu.

Thing is, it's actually connecting automatically for me - which can be found through the gnome network settings panel, like you said.

Per their changes to the system dialogs are suspect to me as having accidentally removed network settings vales.

However, looking at the source, it doesn't seem like any changes were made which look concerning..

With one of the last updates it reappeared :-)
