I've installed usb-modeswitch 2.0.1 (from source) to make some tests.

After a fresh install of usb-modeswitch 2.0.1 when I plug/unplug/plug the 3g Modem, it is correctly recognized and booted up, and i can see it on Network Manager and connect to 3G.

When I reboot my OS it stops working.

I've done some tests and saved the log of all steps (syslog and usb_modeswitch log).

Steps:
1) No modeswitch installed
2) usb-modeswitch 2.0.1 installed and modem plugged in
3) connected to 3G network (working fine)
4) disconnected from 3G network
5) unplugged the modem
6) plugged in the modem again
7) connected (again) to 3G network (working fine)
8) disconnected from 3G network
9) rebooted the OS (with the modem unplugged)
10) plugged in the modem after reboot (modem does not become available on Network Manager)
11) unplugged the modem

I'm sending tar.gz with logs from each step. There log files are two for each tar.gz:
a) syslog (diff from preceding step);
b) usb_modeswitch log (when installing from source I changed the EnnableLoggin flag to true).

I hope this could help.

If there are other files and logs and tests i can do to help on the debug just ask me for that. =)

Note: Same effect with version 1.2.7 installed from source.
After a fresh install everything works fine. After reboot not working.

Improving the log analysis.

With usb-modeswitch 1.2.7:

Checking out the difference between syslog when plugin in the modem after a fresh install ( working ok ) and after plugin in the modem after a reboot (not working), I found the following lines only on the working ok situation:

option 1-2:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 1-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
option 1-2:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
usb 1-2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1

Hi

I had the same problem with Kubuntu 13.10 and the DW-156.
A downgrade of the usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data to the version from precise fixed the segfault problem.
The quantal and raring packages didn't do the trick (both segfaulted like the saucy packages).
See http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/usb-modeswitch and http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/usb-modeswitch-data for the packages.

Regarding the "not working after reboot": I can't confirm this with the precise packages but I had to add usbserial und option to /etc/modules and I need to plug the modem in two times.
The first time only the storage part gets loaded. In the second time the usb_modeswitch gets activated and the modem part loads up.

I still have a problem with modemmanager using the wrong ttyUSB device (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/819784 ) but for now I get a connection using wvdial.
