Please put some thought in the long and short descriptions before
posting the ITP, so we can review it. As you mentioned you copied the
description from the website, but it is completely unclear to me what
the software does and why I would want to install it.

So it has something to do with these GPRS/UMTS dongles you can put in
your laptop and surf via your mobile phone account. But what exactly
does it assist me with? Is it a kind of network-manager clone for 3G
cards? If so, shouldn't the functionality be merged with
network-manager?
