I've tried a daily built kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/

Loading the option module works now without crashing, but the driver is only loaded automatically on boot. When I plug in the device later the module is not loaded (lsusb shows the device, dmesg reports that a usb-device has been added).

Shouldn't udev load the drivers now? /var/log/udev doesn't list anything about the modem after I've plugged it in.

The modem works if it is connected at boot time or if I load the module manually.
