Is it *actually* an E220?  Huawei uses the same USB IDs for different
devices.  What's the model # that's printed on the device?  (my E160G is
*also* 12d1/1003 for example)

In any case, what firmware version did you update to that made it work?
I'd like to note the correct version on the NM mobile broadband wiki
page:

Thanks!
