Novatel Merlin UMTS U630 (PCMCIA) is not working with NM 0.7.
Fortunately, it works using a command line configuration.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with Network Manager upgraded to version 0.7.

1) Provider info:
Name: Kanguru
Country: PT (Portugal)
Operator: P OPTIMUS
APN: myconnection
DNS: 62.169.67.172, 62.169.67.171

1.2) Same provider but with fixed location contract

This command is required in order to work at full bandwidth.
