This is what you need:
http://oozie.fm.interia.pl/pro/huawei-e220/
from the page:
HUAWEI E220 Workaround for kernels < 2.6.20
HUAWEI E220 is supported natively by Linux, over usbserial.ko
(usbserial-generic) interface. Linux kernel versions prior to 2.6.20
have some problems with it, as the SCSI CDROM fakevolume with drivers
for Microsoft systems gets automounted by usbstorage.ko module,
preventing serial device /dev/ttyUSB0 from working properly. Go ahead
and try out my workaround-kit!

I have used it on dapper pretty successfully and even have a script that
keeps the connection alive quite nicely. it works pretty damn well actually.
data is a bit expensive though of course
