I’m the happay owner of a Huawei E1750 modem and it is real easy to get it running in Ubuntu. This guide will probably work with many other 3G USB modems.
Just type from the command line:
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
Plug in the modem
Go to the Network manager and enter your Mobile Broadband credentials and now it works!

Just bought a T-mobile 610 (which was a Huawei E1750) and followed the instructions above. When I put in the SIM card (der) and repeated the process it set up with no issues.
When attempting to go to a site this prompts for which rate you select (currently £2 for a day , £7 for a week or £15 for 30 days)
very happy

IN ubuntu 11.04 – Natty Narwhale it has become even easier… Just plug in the device. Go to the network manager which is preinstalled since 10.10 and than you just follow the instructions.
Thanks for mentioning this path – it helped me figure out my own.
