Please provide a full content of /var/log/syslog so we can see at which layers the USB ID might be missing; if it needs to be added to the option driver (or another); what information it needs for usb-modeswitch (preferably along with /var/log/usb-modeswitch.log) and whether it gets seen by NetworkManager after that -- testing ModemManager 0.6 might indeed be useful at this point, but needs to be compiled manually.
