This is no longer the recommended procedure. You really want to not
use usbserial driver, but instead the sierra driver (in your case, or
option driver for GSM cards), to get 3G performance out of your card.
NetworkManager 0.7.0 (in rawhide), plus latest hal and hal-info
packages, should "just work". You get an entry for your CDMA modem in
the NetworkManager applet. Select that, and it auto-connects and
you're good to go. If you find it doesn't "just work", let the hal
developers know.
I just added a Dell / Verizon modem to the hal list last week, so it
now "just works" too.
Thanks,
Matt
