Like many times before there is no drivers for Ubuntu (Linux) in this time “only” for mac and win.
So, here comes a little howto install this Sony Ericsson MD400 modem on Ubuntu. Do not have the modem in the computer until the step I tell you :)
First you have to download drivers. Go to http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/#download or do as I did just write:

wget http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/usb_modeswitch-1.0.2.tar.bz2

Obs: Look first what is the newst drivers on the homepage, perhaps you have to change the name on the wget command, “usb_modeswitch-1.0.2.tar.bz2″.

After this you run in terminal:

tar xjvf usb_modeswitch-1.0.2.tar.bz2

Go to the folder by:

cd usb_modeswitch-1.0.2

Install:

sudo make install

Now it will work as it should. All you have to run every time before using is this in the terminal, first time it did ask me for password, do not know if it is the same for everyone.

Now you can also insert the modem ;)

sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x0fce -p 0xd0e1 -O 1

Good luck. I did learn this at: http://ubuntu.se/forum/showthread.php?p=19872 Many thanks to you.
