Basically, for 3G dongles, the easiest way to have an accessable from desktop way of bringing it up/putting it down is to use network manager and configure it in there. That's what we use on the netbooks that our engineers take on site because they can easily understand it.
Can't find anything called 'network manager', but I can find KNetworkManager (Open SuSE) and Network Tools (Debian). The latter is installed and AFAICS isn't any help.
KNetworkManager is available for installation from my Lenny CDs, if that is what you mean - or if it will do. I don't expect it'll refuse to play with Gnome...
