I've actually managed to get this going, but it takes a little bit of fiddling to get it going. Once you are connected though, it works fine.
I identified 3 separate problems with trying to get my MF332 going using NetworkManager in Ubuntu 8.10 1) I found that I had to disable the PIN on the SIM card. The only way I know how to do that is by using the Telstra Turbo Card Manager in Windows XP, under options-> security settings. This only needs to be done once 2) The second problem is that sometimes (but not always), after plugging the modem in, it needs to be reset, otherwise it just sits there sending back a short string every second or 2. I've just been using the miniterm in KPPP to reset it, but I suspect that simply typing "echo ATZ >> /dev/ttyUSB0" will do it too, although I am yet to confirm this 3) The third problem is that sometimes (but again not always) it would connect successfully, but I could not get anywhere on the web. It turns out that the dns server addresses were not being updated in /etc/resolv.conf. Unfortunately, NetworkManager overwrites this file, so you can't just set and forget. If you manage to connect, but can't reach any websites, you either need to try disconnecting/reconnecting to see if the dns servers got added (cat /etc/resolv.conf) or manually enter "nameserver 203.50.2.71" and "nameserver 139.130.4.4" to /etc/resolv.conf each time. I will do some more investigation into this to see if I can automate, but at least it's working for now. I'm typing this message now while using my MF332 modem.
