I am a newbie at setting wireless broadband therefore my notes are by a 
newbie and I compare to Windows settings.
In Windows I plug the card and after making a little modification on 
settings due to wrong out-of-the-box settings (settings of modem) on my 
new Huawei 1692 dong, I was online, and I still see the mass storage
In Fedora, I had to dig the net to find that I have to install and use 
usb_modeswitch, I don't have the broadband connection listed in 
nm-applet, I have to use automatic connection to use it...and in any 
case I do not have mass storage available.

I think that something could be done to improve situation, as NM is a 
great tool in anycase (switching between wired and wireless network is 
working like a charm, years ahead of similar tool in M$)

My two cents
