I just purchased a EVDO USB broadband card from Sprint, and I'm trying to
set it up using NetworkManager.
When I select Edit Connections from the applet, and then select the Mobile
Broadband tab, I come to an empty screen, as I would expect. Then I click
on the Add button, but nothing happens. I get no dialog, no error message,
nothing.
This is what I get in /var/log/messages when I insert the card into the USB
slot:

It seems to recognize the card, and attach it to tty, so I think it should
work.
Any help as to why I don't get a dialog would be appreciated.
Thanks.
