I have a K850i mobile that I would like to use as a 3G modem. The problem is it shows up as a wired connection (eth0)and especially under network-manager-netbook this is very confusing. Normal NM at least displays the name/description of the device so I can work out which is the true wired connection. Uploading lshal.
