If so, then yes, wvdial needs to be fixed, file a bug please.
I am pretty sure that wvdial works fine when NetworkManager is disabled and netconfig is enabled.
NetworkManager does not play well with other network-managing tools. And IIUC, that's a deliberately made Design decision.
You can get it to work together, BTDT, see e.g. http://seife.kernalert.de/blog/2008/12/11/using-dialup-with-111-if-networkm anager-does-not-handle-your-device/ (and the followup on http://seife.kernalert.de/blog/2009/02/26/follow-up-using-dialup-on-111-wit hout-networkmanager/), but it's definitely not for people who don't know what they are doing ;-)
And for me, fortunately, this is all history since NetworkManager (with nm-applet, not knetworkmanager) supports both my ericsson-mbm 3G card and Bluetooth PAN/NAP via my mobile phone very well. HUmm i will havce a look at those URL's later tonight nm-applet is a gnome thing if i am not mistaken is it not that is one thing i try to avoid is mixing kde and gnome .
The thing is that networkmanager see's the vodafone device when it is plugged it but no way will it connect i have set every thing exactly the same as in the VMC software but no it sits there all day connecting but never gets any further on so there is no doubt at all the error lies in knetworkmanager and in the way you can not get the route to change if there is a wireless device configured that should be transparent when not in use .
