Thanks for keeping with this Vick.

I had it working before with GobiSerial and wvdia Unfortunately, in order
to take advantage of the PMD stuff, I need to upgrade to 3.5 or 3.6 kernel
and the GobiSerial doesn't compile. GobiNet and GobiAPI do, but i need
GobiSerial to create the ttyUSB devices.  But anyway, here is what
network-manager complains when i try to activate it.

It seems to do better once I changed the 3g options to "Any" but still not
connecting. Also, I am on AT&T, but I never used NM before as it wasn't
picking up the GobiSerial Devices. I had been using the "Laptop Connect"
but I also tried the "Data Connect" which gave the isp.cingular as the APN.
Neither seem to work. Do you use a username and password? I have been using
WAP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and CINGULAR1. Also, do you have anything in Network
ID?
