My Smart Bro ZTE MF627 modem now works properly for my MSI Wind running Ubuntu Intrepid. During my first unsuccessful attempt at installing usb_modeswitch Debian package, we are supposed to comment out the first entry in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and uncomment the entry for ZTE MF627 (or 628+). I forgot to comment out the first entry.
Now that I followed the instruction correctly, I have the ZTE USB stick working under NetworkManager. I just miss the details of connection information that is available under Windows that is not supplied by NetworkManager, like how much time I have already consumed online. What is the proper way to disconnect so that I do not get charged more than I actually used? Thanks to all who replied to my post.
