you probably need the package usb-modeswitch installed on your system. Check with the packet management tool of your distro, whichever it is, if this package is installed; if not, have it installed.
Most USB modems are actually hybrid devices: When plugged in, they first announce themselves as a generic USB storage devices which holds the drivers and additional software (but usually for Windows only). On a Windows host, autorun kicks in and installs the driver automatically, if necessary, and then flips a switch inside the device. This switch causes the device to disconnect and then reconnect, this time announcing itself as a communication device.
In Linux, the usb-modeswitch package flips this switch, but it isn't installed with every distro. For me, usb-modeswitch solved this problem in Ubuntu when I also wanted to use a Huawei UMTS Modem.
