Mobile broadband: no driver for USB modem

I have been running FreeBSD 9.0 on my laptop for a couple of years. This included using mobile broadband via a Huawei E169 USB modem. This worked with no additional drivers.

I have now upgraded to the newly released 10.0 and the device no longer works. When I plug it in, it is seen as a mass storage device, and a /dev/cd0 entry is made for it. I know this can be a problem with these devices that have some storage in them as well as a modem, but that never arose in the past.

Is there some simple fix for this?
