Huawei Mobile Connect Express

I got a Huawei Mobile Connect Express Model: E870 for connecting to the internet with a phone sim card. to the KPN network.

This is a pcmia module.
I downladed and installed huawei_umtsmodem-1.0.0-3.1.i586.rpm
In knetwork manager I see something related, and a lot of fields I have to fill in ???
When I put in the card, this appears in dmesg.

And now what ???
What is actually the procedure to get this card working in Suse 11.4 with knetworkmanager ?

you need to set up a “Mobile Broadband connection”

try right-click on network manager; (or left-click…I use gnome so cannot directly advise on KDE)

from this icon, click on the mobile broadband tab; select a country and network; and your plan; accept; close

now left-click on network manager; your choice should be evident; click; do you connect?

I click on network manager, then manage network connections.
Now there is a tab Mobile Broadband.
There is an entry gsm with last uses is never
When I click this, and edit.

I get a window with three tabs. and a log of fields to fill in.
There it ends for me, because I have no idea what to fill in there.

When I put the sim in my phone, the provider setup the phone automaticly.
When used on windows, something simular i think, altough I Don’t know excactly, since I don’t use windows.

I only know the provider is KPN.
All the abbreviations on the configuration page are like chineese for me.
