If the way i suggested is not working then please file a bug.  the way i 
described works perfectly well for my GSM modem  i have a "Dell Computer Corp. 
Wireless 5500 Mobile Broadband (3G HSDPA) Minicard Modem"  as is said 
initially if its not detected as a mobile broadband card then its a bug hal-
info is the correct component to file it against.  the hal quirk should live in 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi  which tells NM that 
its a mobile broadband device.
