Yeah, likely.  HAL requires that the device (a) have a driver, and (b)
have the right sysfs links set up before it shows up in HAL.  This
particular Huawei device is driven by the 'option' driver, so can you

Hmm yes I can ;) but what could I do ? :)

When this error occurs, do you have any /dev/ttyUSB* nodes?
 
This error occurs at boot and indeed I don't have any ttyUSB

This is probably related to the issue above with the kernel USB
messages.  Basically, if you never see /dev/ttyUSB* then we either have
driver problems of kernel USB stack issues.
 
I don't think the problem is that deep it works when I plug it after boot.

NM 0.8 works better here because it uses only udev for device detection,
which means one fewer layer that can go wrong.
Ok ! Seems nice I'm going to try that but I hope it dependences doesn't change to much from th 7.2

Many thanks
