To surf via UMTS with my openSUSE 11.0 Linux, I bought a Fonic Surf Stick. It was alreadz activated on a windows PC. Then, as root:
yast2 -i umtsmon
Start umtsmon, enter your pin, click Connection|Connect. It works now:
tweedleburg:~ # ping www.heise.de

You can now surf in
- UMTS
- GPRS
- HSDPA and
- GSM
networks. Umtsmon also supports sending SMS.
