'go-down' and 'go-up' isn't exactly what we have in the mockups. Eben 
are there those icons in artwork already, or could you make us some?

We thought about a label and a button to dismiss it.

I wondered about the following options: a grey icon when no 
configuration is set in the Control Panel. And colored if we have a 
setting. The icon could 'radiate' like we do with the wireless icon: 
((b)) and b. Just some thoughts.

Ref.: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/3G_Support#UI_Design

For example: APN isn't very descriptive. We could label it: Access Point 
Name (APN). Same true for PIN, PUK etc

We might want to have as well a label at the top describing in a few 
words what this section is about.
