Ok Mr. Wong. Here it goes.

When I first connect my N95 as a 3G modem it is quickly recognized by plasma-widget-network-manager. So I edited the connection settings and then I clicked on connection name "Vivo Internet" and pray expecting it to work as it should. So I wait and I wait a little more and nothing happens, and worst, the notebook freezes for 2 or 3 minutes. So I decided to take a look in what really happens and this is what i got from a "tail -f /var/log/syslod" while attempting to connect:

May 14 09:47:28 wsjunior-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyACM0) starting connection 'Vivo Internet'

And it stops and just come back after typing "/etc/init.d/NetworkManger restart"

I used to love KDE but now I'm starting to see it with evil eyes. It just seems to be a BIG step back. They seems to want to implement big new changes and just forget the simple and essential things. I really sad about it. And guess what, everything works flawlessly with Ubuntu and GNOME. Even Windows 7 Release Candidate is more consistent in this part than KDE 4 right now. It is a shame. :(
