These may be of interest:

[Support for Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go USB Card (MV760 & Sprint EV-DO)]

But probably of more interest:

I have a Novatel MC760 and I'm looking to improve the support of it in
Linux. It's one of these devices that can appear as one of two different
products. It first appears as a mass storage device (specifically, a CD
drive). If you call /usr/bin/eject on it, it then disconnects and
reappears as a serial device and is fully functional. (It also presents
as a card reader; it has a micro SD slot in it. I haven't tested this
functionality.)

So it appears that if you eject it via /usr/bin/eject that it should
reapper as the serial device. When you plug it in, do you get a CD icon
on your desktop? If so, you can try right-clicking and selecting 'eject'
and then try the modem that way.

Note: I don't have one of these devices... just did a bit of googling &
searching launchpad and came across the above.
