You need QMI tools to use this.  The best alternative at the moment is
Aleksander Morgado's libqmi-glib:
http://gitorious.org/lanedo/libqmi-glib

The cli/qmicli utility there can start and stop the connection, or you
can use the utils/qmi-network frontend script to avoid typing all the
options.  After the connection is started, the wwan0 interface should be
configured using DHCP (chances are high that the modem will refuse to
forward anything until after it has seen a DHCP request).

Eventually all this will hopefully be nicely integrated in ModemManager
so that you don't have to think about any of it.  But we're not quite
there yet.  It's all pretty new, given that the prerequisite driver
first appears in 3.4 :-)
