I have a HUAWEI E173 usb stick to access the internet.
It works normally on windows but I'd like to be able to use it on my Ubuntu system as well.
I plug it in, and after 25-20 seconds the status light turns green and blinks twice every 3 seconds, which according to the manual means that the stick is activated and waiting to connect to a network.
I see no changes in my system whatsoever, nothing gets installed, I don't get prompted for my PIN, no reaction at all.
How should I proceed in order to get it working?

Once it activated, click on network applet and create new connection.
See the image below, It doesn't prompt software installation probably because the software is only for windows.
If you don't see
New Broadband Connection, please post result oflsusb&dmesg | tailwhile the usb connected and activated.
