1) boot, HUAWEI not plugged.
2) plug in HUAWEI. (see dmesg output below)
3) wvdial -C name-of-script umts-pin
(don't forget to enter your pin in the script)
3) wvdial -C name-of-script umts
So the problem for me seems to be that NetworkManager or rather nm-applet (one of the best documented pieces of software on the planet, haha) does not notice that they could provide a PPP connection through UMTS.
Is there anywhere documentation that explains the chain of events that ought to happen from plugging in the HUAWEI to nm-applet providing me the option to connect through it?

As it seems, the firmware is not the problem. I found a wvdial script in this comment

that worked right away like this:
1) boot, HUAWEI not plugged.
2) plug in HUAWEI. (see dmesg output below)
3) wvdial -C name-of-script umts-pin
