No, but I have a Vodafone 3G card plugged into a Soekris running  
Debian Linux in my car [1], and it uses ppp to connect up with the  
below settings. I'd have a look in /var/log/pppd.log or similar for  
errors seeing as Kubuntu's GUI is probably just calling ppp in the  
background.

Also see if you can turn off compression (bsdcomp, vj, any other  
types) seeing as I don't think VF support it.

[1] I also have one that I use with my MacBook, where it worked  
beautifully out of the box :-P (cue lynching)
