I'm on 14.04 Server and I am having the same problem with a Huawei
E1762.
It was working fine until I installed the nut package (for my UPS) then
it would not modeswitch on boot which caused my wvdial configuration in
/etc/interfaces to fail to connect to the Internet at boot.
Unplugging and
Updating to Lubuntu 14.04 fixed this, so I'm closing this report.

I noticed that not only booting with the dongle plugged in won't run
usb-modeswitch, but booting with the dongle unplugged and then plugging
it won't run it either. However, in either case, unplugging and re-
plugging the dongle will run usb-modeswitch, and so will executing sudo
udevadm trigger
