Fred, thank You for your suggestion (and sorry for my bad English).
You want say that You have mobile broadband connection up after You boot
PC (before user logs in)? And when You boot to runlevel 3
(multi-user.target) you have connection up too? How You did configure it?
Have You in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ any configuration files for
this connection?

I have no connection in runlevel 3 nor 5 after boot, didn't even
connection when I log to desktop session - although I have in nm-applet
"Mobile Broadband" configured as "Connect automatically" and "Available to
all users", machine not connect (but it is maybe because initially I have
not enabled "Enable Mobile Broadband" in nm-applet /this checkbox not stay
checked after reboot and new login and i must manually enable it/).

What else I may have configure?
