I can confirm, that this is a regression. It was working in 9.04 (with some tricks, I had usb-modeswitch installed). In 9.10 it is broken now (tried it on fresh installed Alpha1 and Upgraded 9.10 final).

After the usb-modeswitch the daemon log shows:
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB1) opening serial device...
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB1): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE'
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB0) opening serial device...
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB0): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE'
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB2) opening serial device...
Nov 5 15:51:12 localhost modem-manager: (ttyUSB2): probe requested by plugin 'ZTE'
Nov 5 15:54:33 localhost modem-manager: Got failure code 100: Unknown error
Nov 5 15:57:55 localhost modem-manager: Got failure code 100: Unknown error

and the Modem never shows up in the nm-applet. Without the modeswitch there is not activity of modem-manager at all. Using Huawei modem works without problems
