I have a Sierra Wireless AT&T Data Connect Internal Mobile Broadband card. This was working just fine until the Upgrade utility migrated me from 3.3.7-1 Kernel to 3.4.0-1 Kernel and it's not any better with the 3.4.2-4 Kernel upgrade this week.
I'm running Fedora Release 17 (BeefyMiracle) 64-bit, Gnome 3.4.2, Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz × 4 with 3.8 Gig of memory on a Lenovo X220 Thinkpad.
When running 3.3.7 Kernel and I click on the Network Manager, I see the entry formy Mobile Broadband card / AT&T Data Connect. If I click on this, it connects and I have full internet access.
When running 3.4.0-1 Kernel (or 3.4.2-4 Kernel) and click on the Network Manager, there is no entry for my Mobile Broadband card. If I reboot back to 3.3.7, the Network Manager again sees my Mobile Broadband card.
Here is some info from the working Kernel (3.3.7):

I will boot up 3.4.2-4 and post those results.
