Pelephone 3G modem and NetowrkManager

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Tzafrir,
some modems have dual behavior: As a USB storage and as a modem. The time it
takes to init as a modem is due to the USB storage notice that it's not
being used IIRC.

See the manual of your modem how to turn off the usb-storage thing and write
it to it's ROM (or whatever), then it should be quicker.

I wrote a post about it (although on a different modem), maybe it could help
you: http://benhamo.org/wp/?p=1484

Thanks,
Hetz
