I'm using a Huawei E220 on 3 as well, which used to work pretty well. However, on a fresh install of Lucid the modem isn't detected properly (being detected as usb mass storage instead). A quick google turned up this solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1473228&page=2 Which worked for me, after replacing with the idProduct for the E220. Apparently some problem with usb-modeswitch. I saw some reports which say the modem only works if it's plugged in before boot up, but that wasn't so in my case. Hope this helps for anyone else unfortunate enough to encounter this bug.
