"'network-manager-gnome' is a binary package. This bug has been assigned
to its source package 'network-manager-applet' instead."

Oh! I was correct with 'network-manager-applet' all along! :)

Title:
  No option to change MTU for mobile broadband in NetworkManager

Status in Network Manager GNOME Applet:
  Unknown
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Mobile broadband connections seem to work best when the MTU is 1430:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1630684

  Currently there is no native way of setting this in NM and I have to change it by this command every time I connect:
  sudo ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1430

  MTU can be set for wired and wireless, why not mobile?

  I suggest that the MTU value should be set on the 'Mobile Broadband'
  tab of a connection under the 'Advanced' section. It should also be
  1430 by default (or some other common recommended value for mobile
  broadband).

  I'm running Natty but I've never seen an option in other releases
  either.
