Workaround nm and 3g

Hi!

With the current version of nm 7.1, it is possible, that the 3g modem is not detected. I have an icon 225 modem, and consulted with the author of nm on the nm mailing list, and got the following:
the main problem is, that nm uses deprecated hal keys to detect the modem, and the hal package shipped with the arch default doesn't contain these deprecated keys. So the solution is:
fetch abs tree with sudo abs
Go to /var/abs/extra/hal
and edit the PKGBUILD, look for the configure section, and insert a new configure option: --with-deprecated-keys \ (don't forget the slash, if you create a new line). Save and build it with makepkg, install the new package with pacman -U. Restart hal and networkmanager and if everything went well, your modem is detected, configure it with nm-applet.
