What should happen is that when one plugs in the Nokia CS-17 USB mobile broadband the modem should be detected and the user should be able to configure the mobile broadband connection.
What happens instead is absolutely nothing.
WORKAROUND: Set DisableSwitching=1 in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
eject /dev/sr1
