Olicard 200 usb 3g Modem, when inserted usb_modeswith works fine because this modem use the same switch of Olicard 145:
# Olivetti Olicard 145
ATTRS{idVendor}
but for recognize modem i have to load usbserial manually:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0b3c product=0xc005
after that nothing happens, modem led sometimes hang (on green) but doesn't work.
I don't know if is a usbserial module problem or modem-manager problem.
i try with trunk version of network-manager but it's the same.

Generally, you should use the "option" driver instead of "usb-serial" which "should not be used directly for *anything*" (quote from the Linux USB mailing list).
If usb_modeswitch works properly you should not have to load this driver manually - it should be done by the usb_modeswitch wrapper script. Feel free to file a bug or get involved at the usb_modeswitch home site.
Anyway, to load the driver manually for your modem do: usb-serial/ drivers/ option1/ new_id
# modprobe option
# echo "0b3c c005" > /sys/bus/
