When I connected my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music with USB-cable NetworkManager started a wizard that let me configure my connection easy. In just a few seconds I could connect to the internet with my cell phone (with operator 3).

I have a Huawei E180 with operator Tele2 and connected it to the same computer. dmesg told me that the usb-modem was found and assigned a /dev/ttyXX . Nothing happened with NetworkManager. I right-clicked on nm-applet and edited my connections. Added a new Broadband Connection for Tele2. When I left-click on nm-applet I can now choose to connect with 3 or Tele2. So, everything is working fine.

My bug report is really an enhancement. I wish that NetworkManager had recognised that my Huawei was a new device, which was not configured on my laptop and therefor NM should have started the wizard for me. This would make NM even easier for new users. I could figure out how to make the connection, but my mum.. Naaah, dont think so :)

Can you reproduce this bug in Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 beta?
I was able to use 2 3G devices in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) - a Sony Ericsson C902 phone and a ZTE MF626 HSDPA modem.
I was able to invoke the NM 3G connection wizard fo every new device without a problem.
Please test the latest development version of Ubuntu and tell me if it works.
