@Alexander: The airprime driver is obsolete and replaced by the option driver. The new driver handles more devices and is more stable then airprime, so there is no need keeping it. Those who prefers to use it for any reason can always add it themselves.

All in all about the status of this bug report:
I just plugged in an E220 in a clean install of Intrepid beta. A notification bubble came up informing that a GSM device (E220 ...) had been attached, click here to configure it. After clicking there and choosing my provider, everything was set and I was connected to the GSM network within some seconds.

Not only does the E220 work great in Intrepid, it is also not detected as a CD-ROM in parallell, it doesn't need any blacklisting af any conflicting drivers, and on top of it all, the new NetworkManager 0.7 makes it a breeze to use it in practice.

I believe we can close this bug for Intrepid and forward...

Great job everyone!
