In addition to periodic crashes (which *may* have subsided, can't be sure, but I haven't seen one in about 2 days), I get the loop described by David above quite a bit.
And, yet another variation, sometimes it connects, but then NetworkManager doesn't get around to writing any nameservers into the /etc/resolv.conf file. My workaround has been to tail -f /var/log/messages, and if I notice it getting that far to manually edit [ok, copy in a known good] resolv.conf with some DNS servers and on we go. Most of the time, though, the only thing I can do to make my mobile broadband work is to reboot the machine. And that only works 50% of the time. Ubuntu Karmic is hell because of all this. This device & NetworkManager [ie, this system dual booted] work fine on an up-to-date Gentoo Linux with a 2.6.30 kernel.
