maybe plug it in; stand back;see if anything happens;

(ie a prompt that it recognises your device);

assuming you are using kde as a desktop; (as that is now the default on OpenSuse);

right click on what I believe is called knetworkmanager;

(should be two TV screens at bottom right)

select moble broadband; ADD; (to add your config)

select the country; select network;

accept; close;

now LEFT-CLICK on network manager

your config should be there; click to dial-up:

when on-line, select firefox

any joy?
