I have the same issue with 10.04 amd64 ubuntu
I found on the internet this solution and it now works. But the correct solution should be integrated into ubuntu via ubuntu support.
so this problem is taken care of once and for all.

this is what the site offered as a solution.

" Add a udev rule:
gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/15-huawei-e1550.rules

what we are doing is telling udev that when this device is pluggin in to switch its mode, paste this and save.
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1",
RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"
