Vodafone ZTE Modem

Download the connection manager (from internal SVN or MF626_MAC_UI_M02.zip. It is for some device called MF626, which seems to be the same.

Do not install this package!
Instead ./Contents/Packages/drv.pkg (can be reached by e.g. right-click - show package contents).
Now plug in the UMTS-stick and wait for the ZeroCD-crap to be mounted.
Eject the device in the Finder.
Ignore any "found new devices"-messages for now.
Open Terminal.app and run sudo screen /dev/tty.ZTEUSBATPort.
Type: at+zcdrun=8, press enter. You should receive "Close autorun state result(0:FAIL 1:SUCCESS):1". The annoying flash-drive is now disabled.
Now open System Preferences and choose "ZTEUSBModem". Go through Advanced - Modem and choose "Generic" as vendor and "GPRS (GSM/3G)" as device. Don't forget to enter the APN if your provider requires you to do so.
Use *99# as phone number.
