Vodafone 3G Datacard

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
