Tony Espy has proposed merging lp:~phablet-team/network-manager/lp1435776 into lp:~network-manager/network-manager/ubuntu.

Commit message:
 * debian/patches/lp1435776_rm_ofono_secret_settings.patch: remove code
    that added USERNAME and PASSWORD to NM_SETTING_GSM object.  NM doesn't
    actually need access to these settings, and they can cause issues with
    NM's secrets needed logic.


Requested reviews:
  Network-manager (network-manager)

  Bug #1450790 in network-manager (Ubuntu): "Phone with an APN specifying Username/Password, not re-connecting to mobile data until rebooting"

For more details, see:

This change affects the ofono settings plugin and the way that it configures system connections based on ofono gprs_contexts ( aka APNs ).

The change removes the addition of USERNAME and PASSWORD NM_SETTING_GSM settings to the connection, as they're not needed by network-manager, and can cause secret-related activation errors.
