Bug Description

Upon connecting my ZTE MF636 modem to a 13.04 instance on an ACER Aspire 7750G the kernel crashes.
It looks like the modem is correctly identified, the MMC/storage part hooked up, modeswitch tried and then
>> BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference <<

Any workarounds know? Can't find similar bugreports on lauchnpad..
