UE100 evdo modem not getting detected

[jasonbx]

Hi,

I cannot get my UE100 evdo modem to work on ubuntu 12.04 (on AMD turion 64 bit).
Here's the dmesg log after plugging in the modem, which goes into a loop

0x15eb is the vendor id and 0x1231 is the product id.

The usb_modeswitch/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher is not working correctly?

Can someone please provide any pointers on how to make this modem work?
