Title:
  No way to specify custom APN for mobile broadband connections in
  Natty.

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  Certain new mobile broadband modems such as those used on Verizons 4G
  LTE require one to specify a custom APN (other than what is
  automatically detected/used by Network Manager). This was possible in
  10.10 but is no longer available in 11.04. So, procedures such as the
  one described at http://www.pagey.info/2011/01/using-pantech-uml290
  -on-ubuntu-linux.html cannot be used on 11.04. One has to resort to
  using wvdial or some other ppp application or script. Please allow
  users to specify a custom APN for mobile broadband connections.
