Under XFCE I can right click on the NM icon, select "Edit Connections",
click the "+ Add" button and click in the drop-down menu provided in
the "Choose a Connection Type" popup. Under the "Hardware" category,
I see a "Mobile Broadband" option. Select it and click on the
"Create..." button and fill in the blanks.

Not sure how it'd look under Gnome or KDE. I refuse to use Gnome3 and
deal all of its idiocies and resource hogging, and I've never really
cared for the appearance of KDE.
