Hi,

I'm using a Huawei K3765 UMTS stick. I got it working using usb_modeswitch and 
a specific 'MessageContent'. After that the device changes its usb id and can 
be used as a modem.

Now I want this stick to be supported by Fedora out of the box so I was 
looking around where I need to send patches. As this kind of hardware has an 
enormous amount of bugs/specific quirks, there are some projects that deal 
specifically with these topics:

- usb_modeswitch
   -> very specialised, not used by NetworkManager
- modem-modeswitch (udev)
   -> very limited functionality, 'option-zerocd' does not help for my device
- ModemManager
   -> as far as I can see no support for switching usb ids.
   -> however this software is made to support hardware quirks

So which software should I tackle in order to get my device supported?
