The mobile broadband connection can be set up, and then works as it used to do
in 11.3, by manually editing knetworkmanager configuration. That is what I did:
0. Have a look and get barely familiar with knetworkmanager configuration
files; I would recommend adding some connections (wifi or wired or something)
and watching what happens under the hood:
~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc
~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/
1. Log off the user in X (not sure if this is actually required)
2. Copy an old connection file (or prepare a new one) in the connections
directory, e.g.:
# contents of
~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}
[connection]
autoconnect=false
icon=phone
id=Pepephone
timestamp=2011,2,26,20,53,45
type=gsm
uuid={baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}
[gsm]
apn=gprs.pepephone.com
band=0
networkid=
networktype=0
number=*99#

novjcomp=false
refusechap=false
refuseeap=false
refusemschap=false
refusemschapv2=false
refusepap=false
requiremppe=false
requiremppe128=false
[serial]
baud=115200
bits=8
parity=None
senddelay=0
stopbits=1
# end of
~/.kde4/share/apps/networkmanagement/connections/{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}
3. Add a definition and a reference to this connection in
~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc
## connection definition
[Connection_{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}]
LastUsed=2011,2,26,20,54,7
Name=Pepephone
Type=gsm
## append a comma and the ID (with curly braces) to the Connections variable
in [General] section
[General]
Connections={d7b90f22-d183-488e-a358-6b9e062cde5b},{98e415e6-e0cb-496e-9ccd-e1114cc92511},{9615439a-fc98-470c-a124-c9cbc8360713},{ef2b1151-1c30-4ee8-bd9d-817f9ab56121},{baacee48-1409-4907-8fed-0be2ff3add46}
4. Log in again and try to connect -- keep an eye on tail -f
/var/log/NetworkManager
5. The connection details can now be edited on the GUI, you probably want to
enter the PIN etc.
cheers!
