Network Manager magic: "No agents were available for this request."


Yesterday when I tried to setup mobile broadband with network manager, I got the strange message: "No agents were available for this request."

After googling I could verify that this is caused by empty password. But the empty password was provided by Network Manager's wizard itself!

I also wonder if I really need the password. In blueman I had only to setup the APN and it simply works. My provider is blau.de (eplus).

Hope this is useful.

E-Plus accepts any password. Just use eplus as a password and the connection should be established.

Works! Thanks, Schmatzler.
Now I'm fighting with the buggy bugs.kde.org site.
