Aha. Reproduced it. The problem seems to be with the USB hub on my desk at work. When I plug the modem into it, I get /var/log/usb_modeswitch_1-1.1.1.4: | USB_ModeSwitch log from Thu Jan 24 17:40:13 SAST 2013 | | Raw args from udev: /1-1.1.1.4 | | Using global config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf | Called by new rules file - remember to check class of first interface ... | Using top device dir /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.1 | Warning: USB attribute "manufacturer" not found | Warning: USB attribute "product" not found | Check class of first interface ... | Device is not in install mode.
