I confirm this bug. In 13.04 i386 the DNA (ISP) 4g modem Sierra  Air:
lsusb:
Bus 006 Device 003: ID 1199:68a3 Sierra Wireless, Inc. MC8700 Modem

did not work out of the box but following these instructions funcioned just 
fine:
http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org/index.php?topic=42920.0

The forum is in finnish but basically required to create the file 
/lib/udev/rules.d/81-mm-sierra.rules with the contents:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1199", ATTRS{idProduct}=="68a3", 
ENV{ID_MM_CANDIDATE}="0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1199", ATTRS{idProduct}=="68a3", 
ENV{DEVTYPE}="net"

After the std upgrade to 13.10... the Sierra is no longer recognized as
wwan0 and I for one have not been able to figure out yet what to do to
fix this.

I would rate this severe, a confirmed bug and it affects at least all
DNS clients with this modem.

Following these instructions:
http://mycusthelp.net/SIERRAWIRELESS/_cs/AnswerDetail.aspx?aid=44 to
install sierra's own drivers did not help!

If needed, I am willing n able to supply further info for debugging and
fixing this issue.
