With the dongle plugged in, do you see the mobile broadband selection when you L click on the network-manager icon (the pie shaped pile of arcs in the toolbar)? Click on it to connect, enter any info asked for like country and carrier. If you don't see it or it doesn't work, R click on the network-manager, and select the "Mobile Broadband" tab. Hopefully you will see a listing, click on it, then click the edit button. IPV4 set to automatic PPP, the PPP settings include EAP, PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv2, MSCHAP. Under the Mobile Broadband tab, typically all you need is a #777 for the number. All this may be set by default.

I had similar problem after installing Ubuntu.

Version :
user@systemname:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10
Codename: maverick

I added nameservers to my network through NetworkManager and internet is working great

Other way to add nameservers is by editing /etc/resolv.conf

user@systemname:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 8.8.8.8 # Free nameservers
nameserver 8.8.4.4 # Free nameservers
nameserver 208.67.222.222 # Free nameservers
nameserver 208.67.220.220 # Free nameservers

Can you help with this problem?
