After looking at google and some docs like http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:HUAWEI_E220_Support I did not succeed to configure my Vodafone 3G modem (HUAWEI) with opensuse 11.0 until I looked at the configuration on a windows machine.
To sum it up, the important things I was not doing are that the username and password are vodafone (both of them), and the phone number must be *99***16# .
Also important, that I had to remove the pin by inserting the phone card into a Vodafone phone.
So, if you are having trouble with your Vodafone Spain, check those values on /etc/wvdial.conf:
Phone = *99***16#
Username = vodafone
Password = vodafone
and on /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
vodafone * vodafone
Also, the network manager does not work always for me, so I ended up by removing it (on yast2-network general section) and using wvdial instead on a terminal:
sudo wvdial
Hint: You can use wvdialconf with your modem plugged to get a sample wvdial.conf where you only have to change the values I mentioned.

you don't need such an ugly solution (sudo *shudder*). Just configure a normal modem in yast and enter the device of your modem and the phone number (username and pw most likely don't matter actually). You can use smpppd+kinternet/qinternet/cinternet without extra privileges then.
