Huawei E220 3G modem problems

I have a Tele2 (sweden) Huawei E220 3G modem that I want to use for tracking (upload kml file via ftp), update of mediaplayer info from CDDB and basic internet access in my carputer.

I've had som problems..
1) carputer does not boot when modem (usb) is connected. i think this has to do with the fact that the modem acts as a mass-storage usb device too.
2) the connection has to be setup manually each time. Howto setup autoconnect?
3) When starting "mobile connect", the application for connecting to internet, it exits because the resolution is below 600x800.
4) when turning off pc a dialog askes you if you really want to disconnect and halts the shutdown.

All off these problems are showstoppers for a carputer installation.

I have found a forum at www.expansys.co.uk but no real answers.

Edit:
Solution to 3)
It is possible to work around the low resolution issue by using
start->connect-to->huawei3g
to connect to internet.
