huawei e220 - connecting at gprs but looking for hsdpa

[Michael Bolland <mike freshinc co uk>]

Hi there!

Newbie ubuntu 9.10 user looking to try to connect at hsdpa instead of
gprs. i've only used this dongle in windows and it had the option of
choosing gsm or hsdpa but I can't find anywhere to set this in
NetworkManager.

I was wondering if there might be a way via gconf-editor or something
like that - i had a poke about but couldn't see anything other than
the 'type' field which is currently set at gsm. I did try hsdpa
randomly but then it couldn't parse the configuration.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated

Kind Regards

Mike
