Under XFCE I can right click on the NM icon, select "Edit
Connections",
click the "+ Add" button and click in the drop-down menu provided in
the "Choose a Connection Type" popup. Under the "Hardware" category,
I see a "Mobile Broadband" option. Select it and click on the
"Create..." button and fill in the blanks.
Not sure how it'd look under Gnome or KDE. I refuse to use Gnome3 and
deal all of its idiocies and resource hogging, and I've never really
cared for the appearance of KDE.
Not available by default on Gnome, Gnome has its own "interface" to NM,
but Alt+F2 nm-connection-editor (or any other way to run it), can
provide the same interface as described ^^
