 * add your user account to the 'plugdev' group.
 * 
 * If your USB modem shows up as a Flash drive when you plug it in,
 * You should install sys-apps/usb_modeswitch which will automatically

Such messages should only be displayed when the package is a new install.
These situations can be checked in the ebuild as follows:
