added your ppa. now the network manager simply returns 'gsm network disconnected' after connecting the modem. i am attaching the response to usb_modeswitch -v 230d -p 0001 -u 3
Looking for default devices ...
 Found devices in default mode or class (1)
Accessing device 000 on bus 001 ...
Getting the current device configuration ...
Error: getting the current configuration failed (error -1). Aborting.

and 'sudo usb-devices > ~/Desktop/usb-devices-2.txt' returned

/usr/bin/usb-devices: line 79: printf: 09: invalid octal number.
