So the device will be initially mounted as flash storage. Instead of delivering a mini CD with drivers along with the USB modem, Huawei and others install some flash storage on their devices. Windows first needs to install USB modem drivers to be able to mount the device as such. Most likely this is a Windows-induced problem. I cannot choose it in my Network Connections.
