Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why



I maintain a persistent 3G connection on a remote device using network manager. However, every so often, the link fails and then does not restart itself. I managed to identify an occurrence of this in my syslog, but honestly I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. It seems that the machine thinks the device has been unplugged, but there's no corresponding log entry for it actually being unplugged.

Would someone mind looking at the below syslog snip and guiding me in the right direction?
