Congratulations on OpenSUSE 10.3, I have loved it.

I plugged my Sierra Card and it automatically detected it, loaded the kernel
module.

But it did not create a /dev/modem device for it, that has to be done manually.
  I follow the description in some blog, and got it working out of the box.

All I had to do was create the follwoing file:

/etc/udev/rules.d/51-3g-datacards.rules

With the following contents:

 # Rules for hotplugging Cardbus 3G datacards
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0af0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6701",
RUN="/etc/cingularcard.sh"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB0", SYMLINK="modem", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="ttyUSB2", GROUP="dialout" MODE="0660"

And now it works out of the box, it creates my symlink for /dev/modem and I can
dial out.
