I think it's more to do with leaving option and usbserial modules loaded
when the modem is unplugged. I've found that if I explicitly unload
these two modules before plugging the modem into the USB port, Network
Manager doesn't take so many re-tries to connect, this morning it only
took two tries to connect!
