Hi Sergiu Bivol and Id2ndR .
At this time (2.6.31-12-generic) system gets frozen/stuck etc. with both ZTE MF636 and Huawei E169.
Today a lot of updates change the beta 'stability' to full floating...

For the MF636 the 'workaround' is simpler than windows:
- boot without modem
- sudo stop network-manager
- sudo killall modem-manager
- check that nothing of above is running: ps -A | grep -i manager
- use any other way to connect (wvdial, pppd commaaaaand, etc)
- do your work and check again after next update (hope needed).

Regards,
George
