Have you tried configuring usb_modeswitch to allow Linux to see the modem, rather than the memory card within the USB stick? See http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/iwri...540aad7f9edbd6 and post back if it works.

from the menu / applications/ accessories ,select terminal
in the terminal type or copy this code into the terminal

post output of these two commands, we go from there:
andCode:lsusb
Code:lsmod
You came empty handed, that is how you shall leave. Whatever you claim as yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, will be someone else's tomorrow.
I can confirm that the solution given in http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/iwri...540aad7f9edbd6 works perfectly.
If you install usb_modeswitch, create the O2 connection in Network Manager, then edit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf as described and run sudo usb_modeswitch in a terminal, then it will pick up the Huawei E1752 mobile broadband modem.
This procedure only needs to be performed once, thereafter the connection will be made automatically whenever the USB stick is inserted.
just for info a update listing is available from this site
worth reading
other devices are listed here as well

you can use the copy and paste
Load the latest usb_modeswitch.conf; the default place is "/etc". Last updated 2009-08-26

How do i do that?
If you have not already done so, then install usb-modeswitch using the Synaptic package manager, or whichever method you prefer. This will install a file /etc/usb_modesitch.conf belonging to root.
Go to the website http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ using your browser and save the latest version of usb_modesitch.conf (right-click and Save link as...). You need to replace the old /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf with this new version, so either:
or:Code:Open a terminal and go to the directory where you save the latest file, then sudo cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf.old sudo chown root:root usb_modesitch.conf sudo mv usb_modeswitch.conf /etc
Code:Open the new conf file in your browser or text editor, then open a terminal sudo cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf.old sudo gedit /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf and delete all contents from the old file and paste the new contents
