I will second seeing this behavior. I have a friend who has a Toshiba laptop and a Sierra Wireless 881 USB network adapter. Last year I set him up with 7.10, using KPPP and the settings recommended from a Sierra Wireless guide on their site. Worked like a champ. Looking to upgrade him to 8.10 and so I was going to test it out with a livecd. Network Manager saw the device and had an option to Configure the GSM device. I said to configure, followed the Wizard and tried all 3 options (AT$T, Tethering and High Speed Tethering) with no success. The only difference that I could see in the configuration of the 3 options was the user name used to login. As soon as I would select the connection in Network Manager it would almost immediately disconnect. I would love to get this working so I can upgrade him and make his like easier for connecting.
If there are any commands that would be valuable to see run let me know. I would have to get together with him but I am sure that can be arranged.
