Hi Jirka, I tried Natty but currently too buggy (1st beta hasn't even been released yet) and it seemed to have nm-applet 0.8.1 according to right click and 'about'.
What has worked is the sakis3g script from http://www.sakis3g.org/. I needed to purge modemmanager and reboot to fully kill things and then when I run ./sakis3g it works great. I posted full details to their thankyou forum. In Firefox I need to untick 'offline' and just ignore NM icon saying there is no internet connection because there actually is. Very happy now! Thanks.
