Regarding the usb-modeswitch, it still doesnt appear in my repositories. :?

I manually downloaded it from the site but i have no idea on how to install it.
Don't try and install it manually - you will almost certainly fail. If it isn't in your repositories then you haven't carried out Husse's instructions properly, have another go! Alternatively go here:

And look under Community.
