Leena,
The files from udev/rules.d are picked up by the udev background
process on attaching the USB device. You don't have to invoke the
70-huawei-ec121.rules file manually. If your setup is right, you
should see /dev/ttyUSB0 device after inserting the modem. After this,
run "wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf" to setup your device.
You could refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
to setup the modem after usb_modeswitch is in place.
Also refer to,
http://snippets.aktagon.com/snippets/95-3G-connection-with-Linux-and-Option-Globetrotter-GT-Max-7-2-ready-
for the step by step guide to get usb_modeswitch working. HTH
regards,
Harish
