Title:
  usb 3g modem does not switch to modem mode when plugged in but
  automatically switches to storage mode

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  3g usb modem (Huawei E11500) should automatically switch to modem mode
  but instead it goes to usb storage mode when plugged in during
  computer use. This means I have to restart the laptop with the dongle
  plugged in, from start, before the OS recognises it as an internet
  dongle.
