I core 4 i simply followed the instructions on linux-usb.org for loading the firmware directly with hotplug. There is no need for modem_run with kernels after 2.6.9 as the kernel can load the firmware itself.
Just follow the instructions at http://www.linux-usb.org/Speedtouch/fedora/ bearing in mind whether you're pppoa or pppoe (probably pppoa) and it works like a charm Apparently this kernel module is more efficient than the user-mode drivers as well.
