Comment 5 for bug 625110

I have already downgraded the packages. But earlier I tried lsusb. It did
show the device as Huawei modem. But there was no way to access the modem or
the mass storage by any means.

Though there was one strange thing. With the latest updates, it was showing
me wrong model number as Huawei 1550. With downgraded version it shows me
almost correct model: Huawei 1260. Don't know if this has anything to do
with the problem.
