Title:
  12d1:1446 Huawei E173 only detected as mass storage

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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'"
