Public bug reported:

My Huawei E173 UMTS-Stick is only detected  as a mass storage device so I can't connect to the internet with Ubuntu 13.10.
It works great with Ubuntu 13.04

lsusb:
    Bus 002 Device 006: ID 12d1:1446 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E1552/E1800/E173 (HSPA modem)

I tried to add "usbserial ...." into the /etc/modules, but that didn't
help.

Also this USB device is already included in /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
    # Huawei, newer modems
    ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1446", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
