It is known that some Huawei hardware doen't work properly without the proprietary driver. You have to check whether your dongle gets detected like this after waking up from sleep. In the above image my Huawei dongle has been successfully detected. Execute this command in Terminal and plug in your dongle: You can clearly identify whether the dongle is detected or not by reading the Linux kernel ring buffer.

(If you don't have an optical disc drive, change sr1 to sr0) Wait few seconds, until the dongle is prepared, and flip it into modem mode: If not you have to try following commands in your Terminal: In most cases the dongle is re-detected automatically.

Maybe something with not providing enough power? (Not as a normal USB stick, too - I am aware about the mode-switching issue in Linux, but this doesn't seem to be the problem here.) Lsusb does not find the device in the latter case.
