Sorry for making this become a support forum.
Donny, are you sure you're using option module with your modem?
Try:
lsmod | grep option
See if the option module is actually loaded, and you're not using usbserial instead.
Also syslog messages and dmesg might help.
In my system, I don't need to do modprobe. Maybe there's some other hardware issue in your computer conflicting with Haier CE100 "auto-detection".
