My experience was the opposite; the USB modem was managing to take more
than 0.5mA, and the motherboard was then shutting the USB subsystem down
for taking too much power.  It's all a bit vague, but that's what we
figured was probably responsible.  In any case, it seems that many of
the problems with the Alcatel modem and Linux are caused by bad
engineering in the modem, rather than the Linux device drivers.  Maybe.
