Public bug reported: Huawei E173 won't be switched automatically. The package is not consistent. The modem has successfully been switched the first time I plugged it in (as you can see here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23437650/). Subsequent plug-ins of the modem won't result in a successful mode- switch (https://paste.ubuntu.com/23437624/). The only fix, which is inconsistent as well, is to completely remove the packages, reboot, reinstall them and plug the device back in. However, this is pretty inconvenient.
