You should have some unit usb_modeswitch@<something>.service in

  systemctl --all | grep usb_modeswitch

When you have a boot where it was *not* enabled automatically, can you
please get me the output of

  systemctl status -l usb_modeswitch@<something>.service

?

Note keeping for myself: /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
matches on the device and calls /lib/udev/usb_modeswitch which should
then run systemctl --no-block start usb_modeswitch@$1.service.

Title:
  USB 4G modem detected as USB mass storage

Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I lack the technical knowledge to know if this is a bug in udev,
  systemd or another component.

  After the switch to systemd, my 4G Huawei USB modem  no longer
  functions as a modem unless I run usb_modeswitch to flip its state
  from USB mass storage. The command I issue and its output is below,
  which also show the Vendor and Product ID.

  Strangely, it does not do this every time. Yesterday when I updated
  using apt-get dist-upgrade upon reboot the modem worked as expected.
  But from a cold boot this morning it did not.

  $ sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1f01 -J
  [sudo] password for damon: 
  Look for default devices ...
     product ID matched
   Found devices in default mode (1)
  Access device 003 on bus 003
  Current configuration number is 1
  Use interface number 0
  Use endpoints 0x01 (out) and 0x81 (in)
