Hello. It seems that there is a bug in network-manager which for some reason does not permit packets to be moved through the 3G modem interface it has set up. Network-manager can get the IP address settings right from DHCP but even pinging the gateway fails. Wvdial works 100 % and it is a workaround. Many people have huawei 3g modems and this is a very annoying bug.
