Affects me to. Seems like the USB modem is mounted as an USB-memory stick. I can actually open the disk in Nautilus and browse the content. I tried to download http://www.greenhughes.com/files/e169g-switch_0.3_all.deb which resolved the issue for me in earlier versions of Ubuntu. The modem has been working flawless up until last week when I upgraded to 2.6.31-12 and today I upgraded to 2.6.31-13 and the modem is still being seen as usb-disk.

When inserting the usb-modem I get the following error message:

Unable to mount Tele2 3G-modem

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 32: Mount: block
