I have purged all and reinstall first usb-modeswitch-data and restarted.
I do not lose my usb port anymore. The zoom modem is not mounting
anymore as a storage device and I think it turns into a modem but not
recognized by networkmanager. I have found a script callled sakis3g
which actually detects my modem. It tries to connect but does not
recognized my 3G network. Therefore the connection does not go through.
I am enclosing a log below:

I really dont understand why i cannot connect with my modem since it has
been properly detected by the system. Will give it another go tomorrow.
