Sorry for hijacking the thread, I also have the same problem with my USB modem ZTE AC682 after I installed Lion.

I can't seem to find Lion compatible driver for this modem even in ZTE website.

Does Apple's USB modem work? I've got one...haven't used it in a while, but I was hoping they retain support...

For ZTE MF637 and most likely other 6xx modems

Try this: http://www.business.vodafone.com/site/bus/public/enuk/support/10_productsupport/laptop_connectivity/40_software/software/p_mac_osx_lion_vmb_preview.jsp

I know it's a lot of crap to install, but if it works you can keep the kexts and use the remover tool to get rid of Vodafone crap. Sorry i don't have time to test any of this or to extrac the kexts.

The driver should be 64 bit. Use at your own risk.

Have you tried installing Snow Leopard compatible drivers and booting Lion in 32 bit kernel mode? Should work for now. If 64 bit kernel is not mission critical you can boot 32 bit kernel and use your modem just fine (i think).

Also before that you could try this: http://forum.o2.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=379149

Also you can try installing same vodafone package for MF637. There is just one driver and it should support all modems.
