Integration with windows mobile devices isn't quite there yet; part of
the issue is that they are "special" in a few ways and aren't really
generic ethernet interfaces.  How it shows up depends on whether you
select ActiveSync or ICS connection modes, and there were already some
tools set up that handle some of that, but in a more manual fashion.  We
didn't want to step on too many toes here with supporting ICS.  That
said, I've got an HTC PPP6700 lying around that I can use to debug some
of this.

When you plug the device in, what do you see in /var/log/messages from
NetworkManager?  Nothing?
