usb_modeswitch doesn't autoswitch Option GI0505 (USB 3G modem)

Hello!

I have a Option GI0505 (Vendor/Product: ID 0af0:d055 ), wich always has worked perfect. But some weeks ago it did not show up as usual in the KDE networkmanager widget.
I didn't had any time for research, so I have been uning my mobile phone instead.

It is however a little annoying to drain the phones battery just to surf the web, so I started to try some things...

After looking through /etc/usb_modeswitch.setup, I tried:

usb_modeswitch -v 0af0 -p d055 -M 55534243123456780000000000000601000000000000000000000000000000

Which made the modem show up in netwokmanager as usual.

But I can't figure out how to make this happen automatically (or why it doesn't, as it should...).

Any ideas?

I think you need to install ozerocdoff from the Community Repository using pacman.
