It depends on what brand of modem he is using I personally use a myfi from 3 as its easier to connect via wifi to mobile broadband.
They cost about 40 quid and can be paired with 4 wifi devices at one time.
Huwaiee mobile broadband dongles I haved used with knetworkmanager before but zte ones I have never got them to work.

Subject: [opensuse] Broadband dongles again
Hi one for the Broadband dongal people
I have installed OS11.4 i586 on an eMachines eM250 KAV60 basically it works
well the network card was found the Wireless is a Broadcom so took the normal
furtling to get it working all well and dandy BUT the bloke who's machine it is
lives in an area where broadband is next to non existant so he uses a
MobileBroadband Dongal on the 3 Network (very good signal with him) , My
question is can this be configured to just work via network manager when it is
plugged in and if so how cus so far the setup has completely eluded me i have
similar problems with my laptop on OS11.3 64 bit mine i can handle but this
bloke knows didely squat and just wants to do a windows plug and go help
needed please
Pete
