Bug Description
The generic USB serial driver needs to be compiled as a module to allow programs such as usb_modeswitch to function.
It's needed to reconfigure multifunction USB devices such as 3G/GPRS devices that aside from modems also provide a mass storage device (CDROM) with drivers.
When the module is compiled into the kernel, usb_modeswitch fails to reconfigure the device even if the kernel has been booted with usbserial.
There was a similar bug in Ubuntu 9.04 which was fixed just recently.

Please change the default kernel config to CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m for Ubuntu Karmic too.
Thanks!
