@pdc_2: Thanks for kind words. I only know what I know because of experience with this particular device.
Hi fallenstar. I have same device but usually just connect via NetworkManager (thru knetworkmanager). No configuration required as login details etc are stored on card. However, after an update recently, NetworkManager broke and I was forced to revert to kinternet dialer (same method as for opensuse 10.X)for couple of days. It was just a matter of configuring modem via yast first (and making link /dev/modem --> /dev/ttyUSB0).
Now, I have tried wvdial occasionally to test modems (and configurations) in the past. I've just tried it now with my Vodafone Huawei device. I had to dial out as root, otherwise it complained about /dev/ttyUSB0 being busy. (Haven't has time to check, but I suspect user might need to be part of uucp group as well).

BTW, dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1 both seem to work the same with this device. So, try running wvdial as root first. See how that works...
