3G-Modem and Storage

[geko53]

I'm connected to Internet via a 3G-Modem (ZTE MF652) which works fine even with the new beta build (3.0.0.4.206). My problem is that I don't have a spare USB port as I'm using the second USB port for my net printer (Kyocera FS-1300 D - well doing under the beta too), so that there is no possibility to connect an USB drive for file sharing and storing purposes.

I hoped, that the micro SD slot of my ZTE modem could be an alternative solution, so I put a 32 GB micro-SD formatted with NTFS into the slot. I'm not sure wether the card really is recognized by the system, as I am not able to access it. The router tells me that "USB ist deactivated". I've tried to reformat the drive with EXT3 already but there was no other result.

Could someone give me a hint what I could do?

When going to "network place share" at web-GUI you can see the folder "ZTE storage" but the content of the SD card will not be displayed, you only will find the small rotating symbol indicating a loading process that doesn't disappear... (see attachment).

In the system log I can find the following entries, btw. - seems that the card was seen when booting the router:
