Binary package hint: network-manager

I have a Sierra Wireless AirCard USBConnect 881U 3G/HSDPA/UMTS USB modem.

This device works out of the box on Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 but I cannot get it to work using Ubuntu 9.04's NetworkManager.

I tried wvdial/wvdialconf but not successful for some reason.

I tried gnome-ppp but gnome-ppp prompts for a password that my ISP (Telkomsel Flash) do not require (and therefore must be left empty).

I am using UMTSMon to connect and it works flawlessly with this modem, save for some quirks (Firefox/Pidgin detecting as offline etc.) because I'm using UMTSMon, not NetworkManager.

Note that I also have Nokia E71 and it works well as 3G modem with NetworkManager.
