[opensuse-factory] umtsmon problem or strange

Hi . Laptop just updated via zypper dup all seems fine so far apart from umtsmon will not see the usb device an Huawei E220 modem when logged in as my user but if i log in as root it sees it and works fine so it seems a permission problem as opposed to the PPP problem i had previously hints please on what i need to change to get permissions right to use the thing as user . Pete .
