NetworkManager and mobile broadband

[Jon Stanley]

Well, my Internet at home is busted right now.  The probability of
getting it back based on the responses that I've gotten from the first
level techs that they send us to deal with are bleak, since they don't
believe that there's a problem.  At least I *do* haave a Windows XP
laptop (from work), so not everything I own is entirely foreign to
them :).

Anyhow, I have a mobile broadband USB thingy, and since that's a
feature of F9, I figured why not check it out!  I put that on my F9
laptop, and looked in NetworkManager.  There I find a "Auto CDMA
Network Connection".  Click on it, and BAM, I'm on the Internet.  The
only complaint that I have is that there are *three* such options.  I
just picked the first one, but why are there three (I think I have a
suspicion as to why - the card presents itself as three USB serial
ports - why I have no clue).  It'd be nice if we could see that these
were actually the same card and just present one of them.
