I am glad to hear you have it working.
I'm very pleased about that, myself.
Maybe a HAL rule to eject the SCSI device the Novatel as soon as it is detected? Or a udev rule that does the same thing? Just as a temporary fix? If I remember right, it has different device IDs in drive and modem modes.
That sounds like a great idea, but I haven't a clue how to go about writing that. I did put the eject command into /etc/rc.local so it will work right away if the modem is attached when the machine boots, but of course that does nothing for me if it's attached afterward.
Well, I am not too good with HAL rules yet, but you could try a udev rule something like this:
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="1410", ATTR{idProduct}=="5010", run="/usr/sbin/eject $DEVPATH", OPTIONS="last_rule"
The rule may need some tweaking - I can not remember is $DEVPATH includes the device name, or only the path...
