@madbiologist: the point is certainly not to have everyone upgrade their firmware, but that this course of action needs testing regardless.
The problem is, the E220 responds differently based on different firmware versions, and we can only make work the ones that we have to test with.
If someone can test the modemmanager package from Quantal as well (using a live CD or installing the package directly) that could also be very useful.
I'm resetting the states for this bug to Triaged for the Oneiric, Precise and floating tasks; it's evidently not fixed and the state should have been reset long ago.
