I've checked that this is not a Gnome 3 issue by running Fedora 17 in VirtualBox.
On that setup, the Network Menu has an 'Auto broadband' entry under 'Mobile broadband'. Clicking this 'Auto broadband' launches the network settings utility which launches the Mobile Broadband Configuration Wizard. This 'Auto broadband' menu entry is in Gnome Remix, but clicking on it has no effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070006 Title: Mobile Broadband Fails to Configure on Ubuntu-Gnome (ZTE MF622) Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “modemmanager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “network-manager” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: The modem (ZTE MF622) is recognised and 'Mobile Broadband' can be enabled. The network is shown ('3' in the UK) and has signal strength bars (2 for me). However, the modem doesn't connect. Ubuntu Desktop displays a Mobile Broadband Connection dialog/wizard which allows me to select and configure my network provider. Ubuntu Gnome doesn't - I'm not sure if this is relevant. Syslog does not show any activity by pppd, whereas it does on Desktop. In fact, nothing relevant is shown in syslog after ModemManager shows the change of state of the modem from 'enabled' to 'registered'.
