Public bug reported:

I have a D-Link DWM-156 HSPA Modem, that I bought just a few days ago.
The modem has drivers in its internal storage. There are Debian Software
Packages for both i386 and amd64, so obviously I installed the amd64.deb
using Software Center: 3g_modem_connect_D300_amd64.deb . Then manually,
I did: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001 product=0x7d01". I have
confirmed that the device switched to usbserial mode from usb-storage
mode. As the product ID was a706 before.

But here is the thing, the device is detected and I get the Mobile
Broadband options in the Network Menu ONLY when a SIM Card is NOT
present in the modem. If a SIM Card is present, the Modem switches to
usbserial mode but after that, there is no change in the network menu. I
can't use my modem in Ubuntu at all, due to this.

I have uninstalled the package usb-modeswitch, but there is no change in
behavior. The modem is detected when there is no SIM Card present and
the network menu shows Mobile Broadband options. But with a SIM Card,
the network menu does not show Mobile Broadband.

And my laptop is the Dell XPS L502X and is almost 1.5 years old. I
always plug my modem into the USB 2.0 port. Everything else works
prefectly (Nvidia with Bumblebee of course)
