Works in the UK. may work in other vodafone areas. Not sure.

It seems that it will be enough to get hwinfo report the card as a modem and add Vodafone to the provider list.

Simon, please attach also the output of hwinfo (with the card inserted, of course) http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST

Hm, that's strange, it looks like both should get recognized.
Please attach y2logs after running yast2 modem and the output of these commands
 hwinfo --modem
 echo '`Read (.probe.modem)' | /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base stdio scr

Or what do you mean by 'does not recognize the device'? If you mean that the modem appears but is identified as 'AT Modem' instead of the brand name then you don't need to attach more.

Hummmm. 

I could have sworn there was no modem there at all when I first did this. 

I have since removed the modem from yast, then pluged the card in, waited 5 mins and started yast2 modem, and there was an "AT Modem" device there. 

Not sure why....

I guess it's only the name that needs updateing. 

I can't confirm on the older card (the non-quad card) as it's not in the office today. If that's got a a problem, I'll update the ticket. 

If I get the chance, I'll test on a vanilla install, and update/reopen if nessisary. 

Reassigning to the new maintainer of yast2-network.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
