Yes there's a slight problem in the MessageContent part of the configuration, some advice to use a usb sniffer (on MS Windows Env) to check. The default configuration for MF62(6/7) doesn't work for me too.
But inserting the 3G/UTMS stick before booting linux work for me. The only problem is when got disconnected and needed to reinsert it again. I guess the usb_modeswitch settings needs to be tweaked.
