You now have this option in the wizard; once you've chose a country (and
if you can't you have a "not listed" option), even down to the actual
provider plan where the drop-down contains an extra option for unlisted
plans.

Closing as Fix Released.

** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => network-manager-applet

Title:
  Network Manager 'New Mobile Broadband Connection' wizard should allow
  manual settings

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  The dialog box for adding a new mobile broadband connection in Network
  Manager contains a list of service providers to choose from.

  It should also offer the option of manually entering the configuration
  information, in case the correct provider is not listed or the
  suggested settings are out of date. This is especially worth having
  since many mobile broadband dongles have the APN pre-set and simply
  need the *99# number to be dialed (and sometimes the username password
  are not checked either). So *99# should be the default number to dial
  in the UI for entering the manual settings.

  It might even be worth having an explicit option "attempt to use
  settings stored in mobile broadband device" which would try *99#,
  blank username and password and no APN set.
