And.. solved... it was.. easy-ish.
After loads of digging and searching... I discovered this page https://forge.betavine.net/frs/?group_id=12 which is the software repo for Vodafone's Linux software and drivers... I installed the three RPMs under the openSUSE 11.2 heading... started up the vodafone app... which told me my user needed to be a member of a coupel groups.. fixed that logged out.. then decided to reboot for good measure.
I plugged in the UMTS stick... I did NOT have to fiddle with Ejecting it via Dolphin. I just started up the Vodafone application.. filled in the info the startup wizard asked for, and clicked connect... and it connected right away. When you first load a web page it redirects to a Vodafone website where you can load credit etc... and... that's it. It's up and working... and Vodafone fully supports openSUSE with their devices.. they just don't advertise the fact nor make it particularly easy to discover this info.
Lucky you. Comviq do not offer such support. Or is is also well hidden.
Next step for me is to update the openSUSE Wiki entry I suppose.
