Thanks John. I found the link very informative, and I added an entry in that file for my card. My card is a Sierra Wireless Compass 597, and there were entries for what looks like the same card, but PC Card, instead of USB, so I modeled it right after that, so the only thing that was different was the product id.
When I hit the add button on the mobile broadband tab in NetworkManager's edit connections, I still don't get anything. Shouldn't I get a dialog of some type regardless of whether it has this information in the 10-modem.fdi file?
I do seem to be able to manually get a ppp connection, with a IP address and proper DNS addresses, but I sure would like it to be automatic through NetworkManager.
I just would have thought I would get a dialog, but nothing.
