I have it working with Jaunty: ZTE 626 with Claro (Argentina). This same procedure didn't work a few months ago. $ uname -a Linux kafka 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
these are the steps I followed: 1- downloaded last version of usb_modeswitch and installed it (from source) 2- edited usb_modeswitch.conf and uncommented the part that starts at: ZTE MF628+ (tested version from Telia / Sweden) and ends at: MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000030000000000000000000000" 3- edit or create /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-zte-mf626.fdi (I attached the file) 4- plug the modem, wait a few seconds and run: sudo /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch -W -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf 5- wait a few seconds more and run: sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0031 After that network manager identifies it and offers the connection option to Claro. No matter what I try, I can't connect but if I leave the modem plugged and restart the computer, I can connect normally to my service provider (although I had to change some if the data network manager brings by default). It's not really my primary connection (just use it whenever I'm on travel visiting family) so I really didn't try to debug the whole process or automate it but the mentioned steps worked for me. This[1] the original thread I followed to make it work (in spanish). Hope it helps.
