[Ubuntu-ZW] the ... 3G modems again URGENT

[oswin zulu]

Mayb this might not apply to evryone but i found it rather easy to set
up a 3g modem using network manager
Am using a huawei modem ( luckily the drivers are included in the
kernel > 2.6.20 )
same procedure works well on ubuntu , opensuse and fedora
i have tried this with the gnome network manager havent given it a
short with the kde network manager

i hope this link might be useful
