The K3520 is a vodafone branded version of the Huawei E169G.  I have 2
e169g running - neither currently with ubuntu.  I have used this device
in the past with my ubuntu laptop.

Try the following:

* Ditch wvdial - i have never liked it

* Download the karmic version of usb-modeswitch from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/usb-modeswitch

* Use gdebi when it pops up to install the deb

* open a terminal

* run "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" no quotes

* run "exit" no quotes

* Unplug your stick and plug it in again

* Network manager's HSDPA wizard should popup - i think

Good luck

Cheers
