It nice that you found my statement at draisberghof.

But as  already mentioned there:  E5786 is not R226. 

My version of E5786 (Telekom speedbox II) is completely unusable. 
It doesn't work via USB and it doesn't provide IPv6. 

Huawei/DeutscheTelekom have something changed in newer devices, so they don't 
work under linux. (speedstick V is also unusable) 

Because usb-modeswitch switches to the same IDs as Windows uses, I think it is 
a kernel problem at linux.

You are free to fix it, or to provide usb-traces to linux-usb or linux-net-
mailing list.

I am to busy to do that at the moment.

ModemManager and NetworkManager are not responsible for that problem.
