Following up to myself again, in the meantime I think I've narrowed down the problem with my disconnects a bit:
It seems that I'm loosing connection whenever the stick changes connection mode, or at least when it changes from UMTS to HSPA or HSUPA. Meaning, it connects with UMTS and I'm getting internet access until it changes ~30 seconds later to one of the latter, then the internet connection is broken, disconnecting and reconnecting with the network manager applet won't work, I have to unplug and replug the stick for another attempt. Seems only if I'm lucky and it decides to stay on UMTS that I'm getting continuous internet access. This seems consistent with my observation that I'm often not having any problem at all in remote areas, whereas in the city core it's worst (meaning, in areas that only have UMTS access points there is no problem at all). Thanks for any ideas on how to solve this (I'll take that to the network manager developers, too--but then, maybe I'll have a phone connetion up and running before that and drop it).
