I use ID 16d5:6202 AnyDATA in Japan with NTT HSDPA network.

There need simple patch to use it with Ubuntu 9.10, that ignore its status, because it returns always MM_MODEM_GSM_NETWORK_REG_STATUS_IDLE

In modemmanager-0.2/src/mm-generic-gsm.c:857:
    case MM_MODEM_GSM_NETWORK_REG_STATUS_IDLE:
        mm_callback_info_schedule (info);
        mm_generic_gsm_pending_registration_stop (self);
        status_done = TRUE;
// info->error = mm_mobile_error_for_code (MM_MOBILE_ERROR_NO_NETWORK);
        break;

There are a plugin for anydata cdma that was included in modemmanager-0.3 which is in Ubuntu 10.04.
It rejects any HSDPA modems(correctly not-cdma modems). It causes Anydata GSM/HSDPA modem are not recognized.

There may be some solutions such that
1. make plugin to support anydata gsm/hsdpa modem
2. fix cdma plugin to handle HSDPA modem gracely.

You can see 'modemmanager-0.3/plugins/mm-modem-anydata-cdma.[ch]

Now I try to enable this modem in my environment, but there is no success yet.

We can use this modem with legacy, old command line 'pon' and /etc/ppp/peers and /etc/chatscripts/ confiburation.
