I had created /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_modeswitch.rules with
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", SYSFS{idProduct}=="1446",
RUN+="/usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0x12d1
--default-product 0x1446 --target-vender 0x12d1 --target-product
0x1003 --huawei-mode --detach-storage-only "

in it. But it is still detected as usb cdrom storage. Maybe i need to
start learning compiling and patching kernel to make this modem
recognized upon bootup.
