I have use my e169 mobile broadband dongle with Ubuntu without trouble.With Ubuntu network manager I can connect easily. Few days back I want to try for Kubuntu and I installed it through Ubuntu.Now I can log to either Ubuntu or Kubuntu.But when I connect to Kubuntu I cant connect to Internet with Kubuntu network manager.When I try to make a usb disk with kubuntu I realise that my usb dongle detected as a disk.How should I connect to Internet by using my usb dongle.

Do you have the usb-modeswitch package installed in Kubuntu? If not, install that, reboot and then plugin your device. It should be recognised as both a modem and storage device.
