Mobile Broadband connection through NetworkManager

["Andrig T. Miller" <andrig.t.miller@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just purchased a EVDO USB broadband card from Sprint, and I'm trying to set it up using NetworkManager.

When I select Edit Connections from the applet, and then select the Mobile Broadband tab, I come to an empty screen, as I would expect.  Then I click on the Add button, but nothing happens.  I get no dialog, no error message, nothing.

This is what I get in /var/log/messages when I insert the card into the USB slot:

It seems to recognize the card, and attach it to tty, so I think it should work.

Any help as to why I don't get a dialog would be appreciated.

Thanks.
