My lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 12d1:1003 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E220 HSDPA Modem / E270 HSDPA/HSUPA Modem
My connection now works, with the caveats above - ie. NM did not automatically detect it the first time, it did not show up in Mobile broadband devices list before creating a profile for it - with Generic device, then clicking Autoconnect on, at which point it did detect the Huawei and did connect.
My friend with the e160 is not reporting success yet, though I cannot know if she is trying to do the configuring correctly via NM.
