Mobile Broadband

[gambler]

Hello all,

I'm having trouble getting mobile broadband working with my inbuilt HSDPA modem in my Dell Latitude.

Here is the information of the modem:

[root@fourteen ~]# lsusb | grep -i hsdpa
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 413c:8138 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 5520 Voda I Mobile Broadband (3G HSDPA) Minicard EAP-SIM Port

[root@fourteen ~]# dmesg | grep -B3 -A2 "usb 4-2: Product: Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem"
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=413c, idProduct=8138
usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=2
usb 4-2: Product: Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem
usb 4-2: Manufacturer: Novatel Wireless
usb 4-2: SerialNumber: Novatel Wireless HSDPA Modem

I've created a connection in network manager but it will not connect.

When I connect this is what i see in /var/log/messages

Has anyone ever successfully got this working or know what I could do to get it working?
