<Apologies - I've lost your post about the kernel not recognising your
dongle; and please forgive me if this is already known to you>
My dongle wasn't recognised as such by the MDV 2009.1 kernel either.
I had to install
lsusb
usb-storage
usbserial.
usb-modeswitch (from rpmfind.net)
wvdial
(kppp I had already installed).
As far as I know usb-modeswitch isn't dongle-specific.
However it was essential to attach the dongle BEFORE booting up for the
mode switch to take place, otherwise it was just recognised as a simple
memory stick.
Then
ls -alrt /dev/ttyUSB* showed
/dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 /dev/ttyUSB3
After that there were some configuration steps to carry out.

Thanks! I'll give it a try this weekend. It would be awesome if this
worked out.
