i used to use 12.04 LTS and had the same problem..upgraded to 12.10 as i have read somewhere that 12.10 has a fix for it...but i still face the same problem..
*i have wvdial...usb-mode switch packages
*my modem also shows up in lsusb command
*i have added my modem under the mobile broadband tab of network settings
*enabled networking in recovery mode

NOTE:-when i boot up in the recovery mode..the option is available in the network settings to "ENABLE BROADBAND" and also my modem shows up and i am able to connect it...but i am unable to do so in the normal boot.

p.s:- i use tata photon +

You may try this:

Press ALT+F2 and enter gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/yourtataphoton.rules to create the file we need. Now paste the content below into the file and save it.

SUBSYSTEM="usb"

SYSFS{idProduct}="1446"

SYSFS{idVendor}="12d1"

RUN+="/lib/udev/modem-modeswitch --vendor 0x12d1 --product 0x1446 --type option-zerocd"

Now just plug in your dongle and configure your connection using NetworkManager.
