I cannot get Networkmanager to connect to mobile broadband (o2).
Everything works fine if I open a terminal, do "sudo wvdial o2", minimize it, and then open Firefox.
Networkmanager (nm-applet) shows the connection to o2, but if I select it, it just instantly responds with "Network Disconnected". I have checked the settings for the mobile broadband connection, and they are the same as in wvdial.
I have also tried logging in as root, and tried from there, but I still get the same resuilt.
I would be very grateful for any help with this problem.

Have you got modemmanager installed? It's an optional dependency of networkmanager, required for using (some) 3G connections.

Yes, modemmanager is installed. I'm sorry I forgot to mention that in my post.

As if by magic, the latest updates have solved the problem. I've no idea how, but everything is now working perfectly.
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to think about this problem for me.
