I have two laptops running ubuntu 12.04 with the latest updates. One is a gateway ID79C and the other is an ASUS SM56CM. All I needed to do to get connected on the gateway was to add
usbserial
option
to /etc/modules.
I did the same thing on the asus but it seems not to be recognizing and adding the option lines in dmesg.
Relevant dmesg output:

The only difference that I can see is that the asus is using xhci_hcd (usb 3.0) vs ehci_hcd(usb 2.0) on the gateway.
I have also tried manually switching with usb_modeswitch but it says it can't find previous drivers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
