Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager

Mobile networks are defined as GSM or GPRS networks.

GPRS are a GSM network transmission  and 3G-HSPA is something complete
different.

Tested this with a swedish ISP with a up to 7.2 Mbits 3G connection,
Huawei 220 USB modem. Detcted as a GSM  connection  ?  ;)

Causes confused users.....  ;)


Also if a cell phone is connected it is recognized as a wired connection, must 
be better as "Mobile Broadband" connection.
(S-E 610 tested and 850i)
