Huawei E156G connection issue

[Gianluca Sforna <giallu gmail com>]

I'm on Fedora 11 (NetworkManager-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.x86_64) and
I'm experiencing an issue with my USB dongle in that after it connect
correctly I can't browse any site.
I tried to connect using the same account with my Nokia phone and
everything works correctly.

Comparing the relevant sections of the kernel logs (see below) it
seems the connection with the USB dongle lacks proper DNS records.

If this worth filing in bugzilla?
