I have a MFM 636 and a Huawei e169. Neither shows up in Network Manager in F15. They both showed up and worked fine with nm in F14.

In F15 they don't mount as removable drives, but they don't show up as modems in Network Manager either.

Not sure if this is an nm problem, or a usb_modeswitch problem.

Here's /var/log/message when plugging in the MFM636:
