Hi, I've got kubuntu 12.04 (precise) and a 3G EV-DO (or CDMA 2000) dongle, the ZTE AC581. I have no PIN and actually no SIM card. The device itself is registered with Ethio telecom.

The CD mode IDs: 0x19d2:0x0026
The Modem mode IDs: 0x19d2:0x0094

It used to work with some glitches (had to connect it a few time to have it detected) before in Kubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) but now it fails in both. I guess either new updates broke it or my dongle got even more wicked.

As you mentioned restarting the modem-manager, I gave it a go and surprise surprise, all came smiling at me on-line.

The sole fix for me was:
$ sudo killall modem-manager

After this, I could see in syslog, that ttyUSBx devices were being recognized as CDMA modem by the modem-manager. Before that, modem-manager was silent.
