openSUSE12.1 KDE4.8 huawei EC122 USB 3G modem
I just plug it
then i see the networkmanager
there’s no “mobile boradband” option.
But i type “lsusb” in the terminal,
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 12d1:1505 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E398 LTE/UMTS/GSM Modem/Networkcard
it was there.
So what’s up ?

That lsusb info is just what is reported to the kernel, but that doesn’t mean that their modem interface is exposed automatically. Follow the link rodhuffaker has pointed you to. You’ll need to install the usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data RPMs first. Once you have that working for you, the Network Manager should be capable of detecting it okay.
usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data already installed.
modem still undetected.

It is not enough to have the packages installed. Did you configure it, and run it? If the modem device is active, then you should then observe ttyUSB device files present.
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
If nothing is returned, then you have some work to do first.
Another useful procedure, is to plug in the device and observe the output of
dmesg|tail
