You might want to try sakis 3g. I haven't tried it but gapan says it works fine. I have used wvdial and it works. I don't know about this modem but with vodafone works.

Are you sure it isn't just a case of not having enough signal?

when the device is with low signal the light turns green and that is rare to happen... its always blue. i practily never use mobile network in salix but now i only have this network in my home. in slackware of a friend this network works with sakis 3g!! this only happen in salix :( Does the kde version of salix have knetwork manager? I tried with another distros like ubuntu, arcbang, centos etc and its just click... in a few seconds i have my huawei E-173 mobile network working...
