With my E169 the

sudo rmmod usb-storage
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001

worked (other people will find their vendor and product IDs on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G)

however I had an additional isssue in that no DNS was picked up - /etc/resolv.conf was empty. This was solved by adding usepeerdns to /etc/ppp/options and then reconnecting.

+1 to those who say these issues must be sorted out prior to a release.
