This is a USB modem (CDMA). I use either wvdial/kppp/gnome-ppp to connect to internet. There's a 'mobile broadband' tab in n-m. I did setup for CDMA, but it didn't work. I guess n-m doesn't support this device, yet :( . I'm on http://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/ right now, digging for information about this.
