Bug Description
network-manager 0.8-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu 10.04
- When a 3G dongle is inserted for the first time, there's no indication that it has been recognised and the setup is available. Option in the N-M-applet menu is very hard to discover and the users are not guided towards it.
Solution:
- When a new 3G dongle is inserted, the 3G setup should pop up automatically.

This bug may cause less experienced users to think that Ubuntu does not support mobile broadband. It is a severe user experience issue and needs to be addressed for Lucid. Marking as high-priority.
