I am seeing the same problem with Huawei EC 1260 with Karmic + Beta + Latest updates. This is happening after upgrading Kernel from "2.6.31-11-generic #36" To " 2.6.31-14-generic #48".

Observation:
It was working fine with " 2.6.31-11-generic #36" kernel + Network Mangaer + Modem Manager. There was some random crash from Modem Manager. I have already filed bug against it [0]. But after upgrading to " 2.6.31-14-generic #48". It's detect Huawei EC 1260 as usb-storage. Now NM is not dialling modem at all, I can see disconnect in available list of connection but it's not working at all. But i am able to dial modem with wvdial without any problem.

My triage shows that this is happening because there was fix from upstream kernel update [1] to 2.6.31-12.39 Kernel Source Tree. That fix was for "* USB: usb-storage fails to attach to Huawei Datacard cdrom device." I think that is the problem behind the crash.
