Sun Broadband USB Not Working in 12.04?

When I moved to 12.04 last April, I didn't think to try Sun's mobile broadband with Ubuntu 12.04.  Well, last week I tried and tried, and I couldn't get it to work anymore.  A USB device is detected, but no mountable folder is seen, and no broadband device is detected.

This is unfortunate, given Ubuntu 12.04 is an LTS release meant for long term use.  I've been skipping the 6 month upgrade cycle, and this means no Sun Broadband for me.  I wonder if it's the same way with Smart and Globe's services.
