There are various F12-updates-testing builds that do support DUN.  Check
koji.fedoraproject.org for them, or 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing'
for them.  The update rate of NM/MM for F12 will be slowing down, but we
should at least get NM 0.8.1/MM 0.4 for F12 which obviously do support
DUN.

I've also noticed problems with BT in 2.6.32 and later kernels, but that
appears to be kernel/USB related and not necessarily due to NM.
