The problem is that I have no clue what information I am supposed to give when configuring it through KNetwork manager. The password is disabled and I think the username should be telenor which is my ISP, the other info lines in KNetwork manager, however, I am very uncertain of, and I can’t seem to get it working. I have switched from traditional setup with ifup to user controlled through Network Manager and the modem is detected. The module option seems to be loaded and the ‘mode’ of the stick seems also to be correct, it is not detected as a storage device at least.
English translation of output suggests no obvious info (to me at least):

Are you sure you’re not getting connected? Maybe its just a DNS issue?
In the absence of any user familiar with your network operator-specific settings, I used google to find this:
Thanks Deano, but I haven’t succeeded getting it working. Have tried all sorts of combinations but it just hangs on accessing >>>>. APN should be the only variable of uncertainty, the password is disabled and username and telephone number is the same which I got confirmed on Telenors MAC troubleshooting guide, there isn’t much official help for linux customers. I presume I have to call Telenor on Monday.
FWIW, network manager sometimes gets the connection process wrong (for some hardware), so you may also want to try connecting with wvdial or kppp dialling utilities.
On OpenSuse 11.3 I have just checked this with gnome; and kde should be the same;
if one inserts the broadband device;
perhaps first you open a terminal; and copy and paste this into it
dmesg | grep tty
if you see ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 and others, you should be fine to proceed further;
if so; close your terminal and on desktop;
right-click on network manager and select Mobile broadband from the tabs; and then Add;
OpenSuse then asks to clarify if GSM or other; you surely need to select GSM,
you then have to do a manual entry of the apn setting; (other distros have the apn settings already installed and available to choose from);
so you need to know the apn settings of your provider; the listed Telenor provider in Norway that I can find has an apn setting of internet; the username and password do not seem to need entries;
so I would suggest entering internet as the apn setting for Telenor;
you then complete the configuration; and close it;
now left-click on network manager; and left-click on the Telenor entry that hopefully shows; and hopefully you can connect if there is money credited to your account;
I briefly tried to use kppp but had no luck. It was a bit more complex as well so I am likely to have made some mistakes. Wvdial complained about not finding /dev/modem (I think it was) and didn’t start, I presume I can manually configure, or pass an argument in Konsole pointing wvdial to /dev/ttyS0(?) instead. I’ll try that later if nothing else work.
I don’t see ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1, instead I see these two ttyS0, ttyS1. I tried your suggestion pdc_2 without any entries in the username column which I don’t think I have tried, as I was quite certain that it should be the phone number. The test failed with APN set with various examples including Telenor, internet, telenor.
However, while writing this response I unplugged the USB stick on this machine (currently running XP) and plugged it into my second computer, also running OS 11.2 and which I use for testing, to get some info which I wanted to give as reference to what module it use etc. and include that in this reply. I had started KNetwork Manager before I plugged the stick in and, voilà, there it was, it connected. This was pure luck as it seems that I had to insert the card after I had edited the info give in KNetwork Manager(?).
And it was pure coincidence that the last attempt should be the correct one:)
