Public bug reported:
Most of the modern 3G USB modems are not working out of the box in Ubuntu
because they need USB_ModeSwitch tool.
Installing it is a bit tricky for inexperienced user (requires building from
source). It also can not be installed because the user just has no way to
download it since there is no connection!
3G modems are usually the "last chance" to get online when everything else is
not available, so they should work out of the box.
