Thank you, Danillo. This was the only thing that worked for me on Ubuntu
14.04 and Mint.

Yes, the bug is still happening in saucy and trusty. Haven't tested
utopic yet but I bet it's the same there because every bug I have found
on this topic has been marked as allegedly resolved or expired despite
people commenting that it's still broken. This isn't just Huawei
devices, it's ANY modem that spawns multiple /dev/ttyUSB interfaces -
Sierra devices, for instance. Why can't at least an option be added to
manually choose the correct port? Fedora Network Manager apparently has
that, as indicated by Huawei's installation manual, and it's a very
simple solution. Either way, it's unacceptable that this bug exists for
so long and is ignored, forcing people to resort to wvdial or to buy
another modem. Here is a list of related bugs:

Can something please be done about it?
