Notes
[1] -- Network Manager 0.7.x has limited support for 3G. Full support for Modem Manager is planned for the 0.8 release. A patched version of Network Manager 0.7.1 integrated with Modem Manager is available from the Modem Manager PPA ( https://launchpad.net/~modemmanager/+archive/ppa ).
[2] -- Connman 3G support is planned. It's unclear at this point whether Connman will support Modem Manager or only support the new joint Intel/Nokia project called oFono ( http://ofono.org ).
- [3] -- VMC 2.0 supports a fixed set of 3G cards ( which can be extended via a plugin API ). Future versions of VMC should integrate with Network Manager ( via the Modem Manager DBUS API ).
