There is no issue in any of those logs. The modem goes *always* to
'disabled' state when initially detected; you would then enable it with
network-manager-applet.

You can try to pass --with-modem-manager-1=yes to the NM's autogen.sh.
That will fail configure if libmm-glib is not found. Make sure you have
mm-glib.pc in the default pkg-config path...

If this is a 64 bit system, you may want to pass --libdir=/usr/lib64 to
every autogen.sh; including the MM one.
