go halfway down the page on this link

PHARscape | NetworkManager 0.7.0 and 3G WWAN Modems How-To

to

“Create a mobile broadband connection”;

that shows you what happens in Ubuntu;

for OpenSuse: similarly RIGHT-CLICK on network manager:

(two TV screens at bottom right);

select third along: Create mobile broadband connection;

I think it will say CDMA or GSM?

so select GSM for Vodafone:

enter your country; select the vodafone network for the country you live in;

accept; close that dialogue box;

NOW: LEFT-CLICK on network manager;

the option you have just entered should be there if your modem is plugged in;

click to connect; you should be on-line in about 3 seconds

I have found the E220 an excellent modem;

You can try to run it with the Modem tool in Yast (yast → network devices → modem).

Install ppp, udev, smpppd, wvdial, Kinternet.

Switch it on and off with Kinternet. Set daemon smpppd to “on” (in yast → system → runlevels → smpppd).

Pictures of the method with my broadband wireless using my mobile phone as the modem are here: Wireless HSDPA broadband in Suse/openSUSE Using Nokia 6120 Mobile Phone as Modem on Three Mobile Australia
Works for my mobile phone modem – maybe it works for your mobile 3g

BTW it also works for my Bigpond HSDPA 3g usb modem with a tweak or two, here: Wireless broadband in Suse/openSUSE for Bigpond Next G Network (HSDPA-enabled bp3-usb)

If you are running KDE4, before trying what swerdna has suggested, try the KNetworkManager (KNM). It must be in the system tray. Just plug in the modem and wait for 10-15 seconds so that KNM will bring it up. You have to click on the KNM system tray icon to see a “mobile phone connection” icon. Set it up by clicking on it.
If this doesn’t work, you can try what swendra has suggested but it is more complicated than this.
