This is exactly the problem I am having with my Huawei E220 modem. (The
modem has a usb cdrom device with the Windows drivers.) The cdrom emulation
on the device is broken, so userland attempts to mount the device trigger a
device reset.
The network operators don't care, because the device works under Windows,
and that is all they support. So getting the firmware fixed is not an
option.
Not true, see the bug on the linux-usb mailing list. There is a fix
from Huawei for this problem that resolves the issue. You need to get
the firmware update from your mobile provider, Huawei can not provide it
directly.
So see, fixing firmware by the vendor can happen :)

Yes, and no.
Huawei has released an update, but our local network provider is showing
absolutely no inclination to release an update. I am currently running
the Maxis firmware which works with the Linux kernel, but doesn't seem
to get 7.2Mbps anymore - I think this may only be available with the
'correct' firmware.
I have chatted to the tech support, and they say 'Sorry we only support
Windows'. As far as I know, they have no intention of releasing the update.
Thanks,
Justin
