Nevermind, I now have NetworkManager recognizing the device [at least]. <http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-11/msg00789.html> It was a firmware issue.

Which is why you get the wrong configuration in the dialog that asks for a "Plan Name". Try directory '1' perhaps; I have these MD5 sums: 06f76ed398458dad7b91c2d99a85a0a7 1/amss.mbn 88a60ed745d75fb1b92c539574ecc972 1/apps.mbn e4d8d4dbd0a10d17f01f7f3bbd2ea734 1/UQCN.mbn
So... with these firmware files the Network Settings still shows the broadband connection.
But with either firmwares the "Options" button is greyed out, except sometimes for few seconds during connection attempt. That has got to be a bug???
It also doesn't appear to be possible to delete/recreate the mobile broadband connection.
