[opensuse] Using a Vodaphone UMTS stick with Linux/openSUSE

I've got a Vodaphone UMTS USB stick, model K3565-Z that I'm trying to
get working with openSUSE and KDE4.

I've done some digging, and figured out how to get the USB stick
correctly identified as a Broadband device. Plug it in, wait for it
to be identified as a ZEROCD device. Open Dolphin and Eject the
device. Then it's picked up as a GSM Modem.

dmesg reports it as a ZTE CDMA Technologies MSM

From there, I've been able to set up the device in the Network
Manager... but that's about as far as I get... I'm not really sure
what info is required in the NetworkManager... I can enter:
- Number (known if I assume this is the SIM phone number)
- Username (not used)
- Password (not used)
- APN (known, and set to web.vodaphone.de)
- Type (set to Any, but can set to 3G UTMS)
- PIN (known, provided with the SIM card)
- PUK (known, provided with the SIM card)

I've connected it in Windows... and it works there, so the device works.

Has anyone managed to get one of these things to connect via Linux?

C.
