Information:
I am trying to establish connection through my Huawei E3131 USB modem.
The ISP information:
-You should have terminal supporting data access in HSPA+ technology in the 900 MHz band (band 8)
-Set APN as ‘darmowy’
-Username and password, leave empty
Problem:
I am running F39 with GNOME. I tried to connect but with no result.
My modem after plugging in is at the constant state of registering. It blinks blue every three seconds.
I get ‘Activation of Network Connection Failed’ despite trying all possible options in Network Manager.
Console output:

What should I use and how can I configure my modem to work properly? In Ubuntu it worked out of the box and I honestly didn’t expect for it to have problem. I can easily connect through my Android phone and thether the connection or make a hotspot but it’s pain in the a**.
