Comment 5 for bug 891307

hello.
I have the same problem with the device with this id (19d2:0031)
mine is a ZTE MF637 hsupa usb modem.

the same modem works ok in lucid. but not in oneiric.
you are correct that since it already has the id:0031 that means modeswitch has already switched it to the modem mode. because it first identifies as a CDrom with id 19d2:2000
