Title:
  D-Link DWM-156 is detected but doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a D-Link DWM-156 HSPA Modem, that I bought just a few days ago.
  The modem has drivers in its internal storage. There are Debian
  Software Packages for both i386 and amd64, so obviously I installed
  the amd64.deb using Software Center: 3g_modem_connect_D300_amd64.deb .
  Then manually, I did: "sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001
  product=0x7d01". I have confirmed that the device switched to
  usbserial mode from usb-storage mode. As the product ID was a706
  before.

  But here is the thing, the device is detected and I get the Mobile
  Broadband options in the Network Menu ONLY when a SIM Card is NOT
  present in the modem. If a SIM Card is present, the Modem switches to
  usbserial mode but after that, there is no change in the network menu.
  I can't use my modem in Ubuntu at all, due to this.

  I have uninstalled the package usb-modeswitch, but there is no change
  in behavior. The modem is detected when there is no SIM Card present
  and the network menu shows Mobile Broadband options. But with a SIM
  Card, the network menu does not show Mobile Broadband.

  And my laptop is the Dell XPS L502X and is almost 1.5 years old. I
  always plug my modem into the USB 2.0 port. Everything else works
  prefectly (Nvidia with Bumblebee of course)
