Hello,
I moved from fc22 to fc24. I used to connect to a 3G mobile broadband connection by doing: mcli -m 0 --pin=xxx -i /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SIM/0 --simple-connect="apn=3G" then systemctl stop NetworkManager NetworkManager and then ma connection to the provider
Unfortunately, after I moved to fc24, this does not work: I get connection fails, Activation: failed for connection, here is a part of /var/log/messages: Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <info> (ttyUSB4): device state change: config -> ip-config (reason 'none') [50 70 0] Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <warn> (ttyUSB4): interface ttyUSB4 not up for IP configuration Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <info> (ttyUSB4): using modem-specified IP timeout: 20 seconds Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <error> [1469962107.287907] [NetworkManagerUtils.c:352] nm_utils_modprobe(): modprobe: '/sbin/modprobe ppp_generic' exited with error 256 (modprobe: FATAL: Module ppp_generic not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.13-200.fc22.i686) Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <info> starting PPP connection Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle NetworkManager[3863]: <info> pppd started with pid 5020 Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle pppd[5020]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7/nm-pppd-plugin.so loaded.

The error messages suggest that you do the following:
Jul 31 12:48:27 sophocle pppd[5020]: You need to create the /dev/ppp device node by executing the following command as root: mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
Worth a try, anyway.
Thank Stan,
I should have read the message! However, it still does not work!

Very different messages, and seem to imply that connection worked as far as NetworkManager is concerned. Do you get any messages in the logs when you try to use the link?
The first set of messages seemed to imply that there was a missing driver module. It's weird that that ppp_generic module would be unavailable, since it is in the kernel. Are you using a default Fedora kernel? If you are, that should have it built in, and this would seem to be a bug. What happens if you try a different kernel (either later or earlier)? Are you using the latest NetworkManager, since it seems to be NetworkManager trying to load the ppp_generic module?

If you do a find /lib/modules -iname '*ppp_generic*' what does it show? Does the module exist somewhere in the heirarchy? Is it possible NetworkManager is looking in the wrong place? Maybe put a symbolic link to the module where NetworkManager expects to find it, if it exists someplace else.
Sorry,
Every thing was may fault. I was not booting properly.
Thank for the suggestions.
