I had the same problem but the only difference was that it never worked for me via network manager. But now I just have to plugin the modem and everything happens automatically. I am using Ubuntu Lucid. But I upgraded my network manager to the version which will be shipped with Ubuntu Maverick. After the upgrade everything works perfectly. > What do you mean by switch ? I dont know exactly but according what I heard switching is the mechanism with which the storage device is switched to a serial modem or USB mode. When we plug in the modem , it acts as Stronge device but usb_modeswitch helps to switch it to the USB modem or serial modem. In windows it happens automatically because drivers are included in the modem but on Linux usb_modeswitch is required if there is not native support for the device in the kernel
