You have been subscribed to a public bug: In previous kernel releases this usb modem was detected correctly and initialized without problem.
The problem is that HAL/udev detects the device as usb-storage before trying to initialize usbserial. This results in the /dev/ttyUSBx devices not being initialized correctly. To fix the problem one has to run the procedure: # sudo rmmod usb-storage # sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 Then re-insert the device.
