nm-applet creates the gconf entries with default values when you ask it to connect and there's no connections suitable for umts cards. That doesn't mean thought that things would work out of the box - NM gets all it's information about network devices from HAL, but HAL does not tell us if a serial device is: a modem? what type of modem? In case of GSM cards, is it a data device or monitoring/command device? Until someone adds all that data to HAL, I have a simple hack I use at the moment. The attached .fdi file adds a capability 'modem' for the serial device which is my modem. So if you want to test NetworkManager's GSM card support, you'll need to modify this file to contain the ids of your modem, copy it to /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/ and probably restart hal. For the real solution, we need to discuss where to draw the line for what should happen in HAL and what in NM. From my (biased) point of view, HAL should do all the work and tag all types of modem devices with different properties. Tambet
