Removing the modules is not really working everytime. The nm-applet is displayed (enter the sim pin) sometimes on the login screen(enter password screen for login). In this case you can't activate the Sierra card. Everytime you will receive an error, that the card isn't ready or activated.

It might be a problem with the Sierra EM7345 module?! After the new install of Ubuntu 15.04 Beta2 i saw the Sierra for one or two times inside the nm-applet and i could create a mobile-data connection over HSDPA/UMTS/LTE. But just for this time. Now, after some regular updates, the Sierra Card is not accessable inside the nm-applet menu for creating a new mobile data connection, the old connection profil is missing too. The Sierra EM7345 was also named as cdc-wdm not by name.
