Is is it related to the version of usb_modeswitch which is different (1.1.3 vs 1.2.3) ? or kernel drivers changes (usbserial vs option) ?
------------------------
I was also able to connect the modem by editing /etc/modules and rebooting without unpluging the modem.

I downloaded sakis3g and used it and was able to connect the modem :

wget http://
gunzip sakis3g.gz
chmod +x sakis3g
./sakis3g --interactive

Then, I generated a success report from sakis3g :
