I can confirm this - had the same experience - but:
1. I needed to get my modem and software installed on a Windows box.
No firmware update option from within Linux. So it took me a while to
get to a Windows box that I could install that stuff on.

2. The Windows driver Software seemed to work even with the old buggy
version. So somehow I guess that there must be a possibility for a
workaround.

Of course, updating the firmware should be the first choice.
