Vodafone Datacard/KDE 3.5

Hi all,

this might be a first: somebody asking a clueless question because  
something is working without
problems.

Here's the thing: I'm running Kubuntu Breezy with KDE 3.5 on my laptop. To  
use my Vodafone 3G
Datacard again (which I more or less had abandoned after my switch from -  
shudder! - Windows
because Vodafone claims that the card doesn't work under any linux at  
all), I prepared to go
through countless HOWTOs, do endless scripting and configuring and the  
like.

The story, however, is different. Kppp recognized the card, even read the  
ID and the PIN
(previously stored on the card's chip) and connected without a glitch.

My question: Does KDE now come with 3G/UMTS datacard support built in by  
default? I haven't
found anything on the KDE site about it, but I think it's a great  
advantage for KDE/Kppp.

Konstantin
