Bug Description

After fresh installation of Oneiric 11.10 x86_64 I attempted to connect to the internet through 3G modem. It works well on my Lucid x86_64 installation and worked well on Natty 32 bit. The network manager GUI was able to find my operator (Russian cell network Megafon) and create a profile for it. But when I try to use the new connection it quickly fails. Here is an excerpt of /var/log/syslog after the modem has been connected:

I don't know what happened with my installation, but since last reboot I am able to connect with 3G modem. Here's an excerpt of /var/log/syslog when I insert the device and then connect with it:
