One last thing: Dan, is it your page at this URL:
 http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/MobileBroadband

It says:

  Huawei

  Most Huawei devices are handled automatically by the kernel.
  If the 'option' driver which handles Huawei devices lacks the
  USB IDs of your device, the correct solution is to add those
  IDs to the kernel driver by submitting a patch to your distribution's
  bugzilla or Linux Kernel Mailing List. If your device is not yet
  recognized, you can eject the fake driver CD with usb_modeswitch,
  and bind the generic usbserial driver manually to the device (see below).

Someone filed a bug about this today:
