You really, really want to add that card's IDs to the proper kernel
drivers. Doing so will allow NetworkManager to see and manage the
interface. *Plus* you'll get much higher speeds. usbserial simply
isn't capable of nor designed for the higher speeds of 3G cards.
What card is it? If I know that, I can suggest what driver to add the
IDs to.

Marvell vendor driver, or the upstream libertas driver? Upstream
drivers are the only ones we guarantee to really support since they have
been vetted by kernel developers and tested by numerous people. I test
the libertas driver regularly and it works well with NM. I don't know
anything about the state of the marvell vendor driver.
