However, on plugging in the modem does not get detected. I have tried using both the default usb_modeswitch packages and also the latest ones given on the modeswitch site. I have also tried it on USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I have also tried it on Ubuntu 12.10 x64, i386 and Ubuntu 13.04 x64. In none of the cases could I get it to detect.
