> I have the same modem.
> The problem happens to have dual purpose: as a USB storage and as a 3G
> modem, so in many cases the modem "stuck" in USB storage mode and it takes
> time until it switches.
>
> You can try to do a simple thing: when the modem is recognized as a USB
> storage, use the "eject" command to get out of storage mode and see if this
> improves the time until it becomes 3G modem.

>>  I have the ZTE MF637 on Orange and I use it with my Laptop which runs
>> Ubuntu 10.10.
>> Lately I've upgraded from 9.04 to 10.10 (clean install actually)
>> and though the modem do connect its take awful lot of time for the OS to
>> mount it as a 3G modem.
>>
>> The hardware recognition is almost Immediate and lsusb gives :
>>
>> Bus 001 Device 004: ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A. ZTE MF636
>>
>> Also, the dongle has a micro sd slot and the micro sd card is spotted and
>> mounted on insertion.
>>
>> But it takes up to 7-8 Minutes until Ubuntu's network manager shows the
>> "Orange 3g" under Mobile Broadband connections.
>>
>> Any one got an idea as for why and how to fix that? on 9.04 it also took
>> some time but it was about 20-40 seconds, while now I'm counting in minutes.
