Comment 3 for bug 710237

From the logs I'm under the impression there is a race between modemmanager and usb-modeswitch to use the modem; this will need some further checking and testing, but I'll tackle the modeswitch part first.

Are you saying that this modem would export an ethernet port? It's not traditionally the case.

To further advance testing for this issue, would it be possible for you to try using this dongle from a Live CD session of the current development release?

Thanks in advance.
