Hi,

I've got a Huawei E620 with KPN Mobile SIM Card. I don't know how to get Internet working. Tips welcome. It might be as simple (and stupid) as "click on icon/program x to start the connection"

Situaton:
When I plug the PCMCIA card, there are a lot of /var/log/messages (see below).

When I click Network Connections -> Mobile Broadband shows "KPN Mobile", which is correct. Looking in the KPN Mobile info, there are a lot of settings already filled out.
The green LED on the Huawei is blinking slowly. There is no IP address assigned. There is no ifconfig interface for the Huawei card.

Do I need to start a program to get a connection?


FWIW:
To be complete I've also included the messages during removal.
I'm running Linux Mint 6, which has the same internals as Ubuntu 8.10. If needed, I can live-boot Ubuntu 8.10
