USB Modem Switch problem

Hi, My Huawei E220 is definitively dead, so I bought the ZTE which is supposed to work. It allowed me to test why usb_modeswitch stop in the middle. I also updated usb-modeswitch from 1.1.2-3 to 1.1.3-1, and usb-modeswitch-data from 20100418-1 to 20100623-1. The usb-modeswitch Squeeze Debian package is dependent to tcl or tclsh packages without a version number. In my Squeeze EeePC I have tcl8.3 which provided tclsh, and the "/lib/udev/usb_modeswitch" script doesn't work with tcl8.3. After installing the tcl package which depends on the tcl8.4 package logs were filled : USB_ModeSwitch log from Tue Jul 20 19:13:08 CEST 2010 Using global config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf raw args from udev: /1-2:1.0 Bus ID for device not given by udev.
