A K3765-Z mobile broadband pen is working fine on other laptops/other distros (including Ubuntu 13.10), but is not being recognized on a cold boot on my new Clevo P150SM (which only has USB3 slots - the ones with a blue insert).

On a cold boot, /var/log/syslog shows:

But nothing more happens. There are no /dev/ttyUSB devices setup, and network manager does not detect the pen.
If I use the pen under Windows, and do a hot-reboot to Ubuntu, it gets to the point where the network manager detects the pen (but I have still been unable to successfully establish a connection using the same parameters that I used on other laptops).
/var/log/syslog following a hot reboot shows:

Any ideas on how to get the pen working ? (Without booting into windows 1st :-)
Update:
Regarding the suggestion of adding file /etc/udev/rules.d/90-zte.rules with:
SUBSYSTEM=="block",SUBSYSTEM=="scsi",ATTRS{model}=="USB Storage FFE9",ACTION=="add",RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x2000"
and then performing (after pen insertion)
# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x2000
/var/log/syslog shows:

and no usable /dev/ttyUSB0 device remains.
Update: Maybe this is a sort-of-duplicate of Ubuntu 12.04 - USB3 issue with mobile broadband usb sticks
Once I get the time to investigate, I will post more details.
In case it helps someone that searchs for a similar problem, here is what I did:
1 - solution to the problem of not seeing /dev/ttyUSBn when the pen is connected on USB3
Create a file
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/usb-storage.conf
and add to that file:
# Increase the default delay to avoid conflict with usb_modeswitch
options usb-storage delay_use=4
Save the file. Unplug and plug the pen (no reboots or restarts needed), and after a few seconds, the /dev/ttyUSBn devices will be setup, and the device will properly be recognized by NetworkManager.
2 - solution to the problem of NetworkManager failing to connect while reporting on syslog "pppd[2911]: unrecognized option 'wwan0'"
Well, the nearest thing I've found to this problem was
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/226355
and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=835153
I adapted the workaround mentioned in the latest to:
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
and appended the line
# NetworkManager not running pppd through my ZTE K3765-Z properly
blacklist qmi_wwan
Then rebooted, and it all worked fine.
NetworkManager dialed-out and established internet connection.
PS: I have tryed with success Prasad's suggestion of using wvdial as a workaround.
My /etc/wvdial.conf (for Vodafone Portugal) is:
[Dialer Defaults]
;Init1 = AT+CPIN="NNNN"
Init3 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init4 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","net2.vodafone.pt"
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Username = MYMSISDN
Password = MYMSISDN
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB3
Baud = 115200
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Attempts = 0
You will need to replace "NNNN" with your PIN and "MYMSISDN" with your SIM card phone number, and "net2.vodafone.pt" with your provider's APN.
Uncomment Init1 only for the 1st run (if NetworkManager is not running, of it did not already done it of you).
(I still prefere NetworkManager to wvdial, because when using wvdail I cannot use NetworkManager to start a PPTP VPN)
