Ehh, I have Huawei card, and it works ok before with ubsa driver:

Controller /dev/usb5:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, OHCI root hub(0x0000), NEC(0x00=
00), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, Huawei Mobile(0x1001), =
Huawei Technologies(0x12d1), rev 0.00

ucom0: <Huawei Technologies Huawei Mobile, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2=
> on uhub5
ucom0: configured 3 serial ports (U0.%d)

Now (5-days old current), everything looks fine, chat finishes, but ppp
failed to handshake (same ppp config works before with ubsa):

P.S.
  I have also two other problems with same card, (they was with ubsa
also):

- after disconnecting ppp from port card is not reset, so no more any
chat if start ppp again (you just need skip chat phase). - How to reset
card before start ?

- Disconnecting card crashes kernel, it is possible to catch that crash
with DDB, but dump can't be written. Modem is on cardbus device.
(probbaly will be fixed by new usb stack ?)
