Before you run usb_modeswitch, does the device show up as a CD drive or storage device?

If so then ejecting or unmounting should also switch it into modem mode.

If it doesn't show up, then do you get anything in lsusb at this stage? It should be listed as 12d1:1446. If you don't see it in lsusb before doing anything to it, then it's just not working at all. Maybe try another USB port.

HTH, Rick
