For anyone coming across this bug report while trying to use this modem with Ubuntu, Network Manager does not support it (at least for USA-based users on Verizon's CDMA network) as of the time of this bug report.

I have filed bug 657136 to cover the related problem. Until bug 657136 is fixed, see the workaround referenced there.

The support file in comment #1 should be named "106c:3b05", and goes in the same directory as the rest of the files.

Upstream has confirmed that he'll put these updates into the next release of usb-modeswitch-data.

Tagging as "fix committed" as package is available in Debian experimental
