3g works fine in Network Manager.
Not that i find its UI exceptionally beautiful.. i think NM has no excess UI
designers sitting around..
What it looks like to me when i listen into the NM mailing list, is rather

painting up UI stuff.

I was not talking about Network Manager applet.
What i meant with "i hope we'll get a 3g wizard soon" was the new networking
