I have been successful in connecting to the Internet using a Pantech UML290-VW using the Mobile Broadband setup wizard (vzwinternet) in Ubuntu 14.10. My settings are as follows:
Number: *99#
Username: blank
Password: blank
APN: vzwinternet
My problem is that when the computer is restarted or shut down, upon booting again the connection refuses to work - immediately says "You have been disconnected." It is NOT set to connect automatically, although I tried this and the result was the same. If I unplug the dongle from the computer and then plug it back in (with the computer running), everything works as expected.
Any idea as to what might be causing this odd behaviour? I do not see any obvious error messages anywhere, not sure if there is some log information available.
Additional info:
- Auto-login is set, so I cannot check the behaviour there

After Suggested Changes & Reboot
After rebooting, the connection is visible in the networking drop-down menu but when I select it, immediately disconnected (same as initial problem). Before trying to connect I copied the command output requested earlier: dmesg before unplugging dongle and dmesg after unplugging/re-inserting. Also, here are the contents of Verizon 4G LTE Contract 1
