In KDE looks like this:

In Gnome looks like thiS:

You could try following the steps in my blog. Start from Step 1. So you will learn about how to add repos and make all multimedia stuff work. You might continue with Step 2, if you would need to make the Networkmanager-GNOME work in KDE. Before taking these steps, check Step Zero - there are links to most important repos. If not feel ready enough, don’t take those marked as expert.
**
Step Zero:**
openSUSE starter: Step Zero: Repos you need before proceeding

Further Steps:
openSUSE starter

BEWARE to take the instructions step by step, following ALL instructions in the proposed order. I advice you to take Step 1, and, if the KDE’s network management fails for you, also Step 2.

This is what worked for me with a ZTE MF100 HSDPA modem on OpenSUSE 11.3 64-bit:

  1. Click on “Start” -> “Computer” -> “YaST”.
  2. Enter the root password.
  3. Click on “Network Devices” -> “Modem”.
  4. Click “Add”.
  5. Under “Modem device:” try “/dev/ttyUSB2”. If you can’t connect later on, try using “/dev/ttyUSB1” or “/dev/ttyUSB0”.
  6. Click “Details”.
  7. Set “Baud Rate” to “460800” (might be different for you).
  8. Under “Init 1” enter “ATZ”.
  9. Under “Init 2” enter “ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2”.
  10. Under “Init 3” enter “AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“APN””, replacing APN with your providers’ APN such as “web.htgprs”.
  11. Click “Ok”.
  12. Click “Next”.
  13. Select “Generic service provider”.
  14. Click “New”.
  15. Enter your providers’ name (this can really be anything you like).
  16. Enter “*99#” under “Phone number”.
  17. Unselect “Always ask me for the password”.
  18. Under “Username” and “Password” enter “null”.
  19. Click “Next”.
  20. Under “Idle Time-Out” select “0 (0. min)”.
  21. Click “Next”.
  22. Click “Ok”.
  23. Close “YaST”.

To connect, do the following:

  1. Click “Start” -> “Applications” -> “System” -> “Terminal” -> “Terminal - Super User Mode”.
  2. Enter the root password.
  3. Type “ifup modem0”. Hit ENTER. If all goes well, you should see something like:
    modem0    name: Modem
interface modem0 is up
SuSEfirewall2: Warning: no default firewall zone defined, assuming 'ext'
  1. To check if you are connected, type “ifconfig modem0”. Hit ENTER. Try repeating this step a few times untill you see something like:
modem0    Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
          inet addr:1.2.3.4  P-t-P:10.64.64.64  Mask:255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 
          RX bytes:84 (84.0 b)  TX bytes:105 (105.0 b)

If modem0 doesn’t come up, try a different modem device under step 5 from the first list. If you see something similar to the above output, you are now connected to the Internet!

  1. To disconnect, type “ifdown modem0”. Hit ENTER.
