using usb_modeswitch is o.k. and now I have the card in the list of
available devices when creating new mobile broad band connection: then
I can choose my service provider (Italy first, then Tim) and issue an
apply. But such a connection is not shown in available connections, I
can use it only as automatic...no way of selecting available to all
users option
