Huawei e160 modem isn't consistently detected. It's a hit and miss affair. Sometimes requires several attempts of plugging in and out.
This modem also has a MicroSD card slot and this is probably what is causing the issue. However, no additional drive is reported or mounted automatically.
It just takes 2-5 minutes for the modem to be detected. Following which running it is usually hassle free.
