This may be caused by upstream changes to the Huawei device handling:

Version 2.2.0, 2014/05/29
    Introduction of parameter "HuaweiNewMode", wrapping the standard bulk
    message for all newer Huawei devices; support for generic fall-back
    config files, combined with OS switch (per vendor ID), implementation
    to use a specific switching command on Android for all Huawei devices
    (see README of data package for details); this change was suggested
    by Huawei

Title:
  Regression: Huawei E173 no longer recognized as a modem

Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My Huawei E173 modem is not recognized as a modem anymore after
  installing Ubuntu 15.04 and Mainline kernel 4.0 RC6. It worked out of
  the box with Ubuntu 14.10.

  I tried various guides (editing /etc/modules and
  /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules) but none of them worked. I
  finally stumbled upon a script (https://gist.github.com/rehno-
  lindeque/4500517) that made the modem usable (recognized by Network
  Manager)

  The downside is, I have to run the script every time i plug the modem
  in, would like a permanent solution.
