 Wow, there have just been a whole slew of GPRS/3G packages added to
 portage.  This is really great to see, and I can be a great
 contributor as far as providing network info.

 Network Manager seems to be the integration platform of choice.  Does
 anyone know if there are rumblings about integrating any of this with
 wicd?  Has anyone tried any of this stuff?

Just read on IRC that integration is planned for wicd-2.0 and they
will likely share the same carrier database as above.
