Guys, the root of the problem is in udev rules. Here is the commitment where developers removed the support for that hardware from the udev: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commitdiff;h=8a993fab2f218234f06743bcc127dda61a45711b If fact, the whole "extra" module together with modem-modeswitch was obsoleted upstream
So if you use sys-fs/udev-149 and above you need to use >=sys-apps/usb_modeswitch-1.1.1 (it has the proper udev rules for different modems). Once it's done, check if /dev/ttyUSB* exist and you are ready to move on for the ppp configuration.
