Binary package hint: network-manager

I have a Cricket A600 USB 3G modem that works great with the NetworkManager except for one thing.

Every time that I want to connect to the modem, I have to run usb_modeswitch. This has to be done every time that I connect the device, go standby/hibernate, or shutdown.

It would be nice if the NetworkManager would include some sort of a tool that would recognize this device and automatically switch the mode.

Thanks!
