How to enable a 3G USB modem using kde's network manager (NM).
1) Plug in your modem
2) Right click on the NM icon in your system tray and choose "Manage
Connections"
3) Select the tab labelled "Mobile Broadband"
4) Click on "Add"
5) Give your connection a name (e.g. 3G Connection)
6) Under the "Basic" section enter:
number: *99#
username: user
password: user
7) Save.
8) LEFT click on the NM icon in your system tray. Choose "3G
Connection"
9) Profit....
NOTE: I've used this for both Warid & Orange USB modems, as well
as on a
Zain with a Nokia 6300 phone connected using USB. No need to enter
the APN.
I can click "3G Connection" for any USB connected modem.

Perhaps installing the gnome network manager to replace the kde one
might be a solution. Not a nice one, but one at least ;)

that is for ubuntu, and indeed, that works.
For KDE, i had the same issue, the orange dongle didnt work on
karmic.
Now the
magic: I went to Kenya, plugged in a safaricom modem, and hopsa!
I was
online.
No prob.
Come back in Uganda, and suddenly my orange modem also works.
Until my upgrade to Lucid. Now i am modemless again. (did stick
in a
safaricom
modem 2 weeks back when i was in nairobi, but some magic doesnt
repeat
itself).
There is also a chance it might have worked due to some editing of
wvdial
configuration, but i havent investigated that yet, office jockey
i am.
i do need to go out more often, its just too much fun at
Mountbatten!
