Vodafone/Huawei K3770 with usb_modeswitch

Hi all,

I am trying to get a "Vodafone/Huawei K3770" working on FreeBSD 8.2.

When I insert the modem, I find only 2 USB files for it under /dev/usb.

Code:
# usbconfig -u 7 -a 2 dump_device_desc
ugen7.2: <Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei) HUAWEI> at usbus7, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0200 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
  idVendor = 0x12d1 
  [B]idProduct = 0x14d1[/B]
  bcdDevice = 0x0102 
  iManufacturer = 0x0002  <HUAWEI>
  iProduct = 0x0001  <Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei)>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 

# file /dev/usb/7.2*
/dev/usb/7.2.0:  character special
/dev/usb/7.2.15: character special

I am using usb_modeswitch to activate the modem.

Code:
# usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x14d1 -c 12d1\:14d1

The contents of 12d1:14d is:

Code:
TargetVendor=0x12d1
TargetProduct=0x14c9

MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"

After I issue the command, I could see more devices added to /dev/usb and the Product ID changes accordingly.

Code:
# usbconfig -u 7 -a 2 dump_device_desc
ugen7.2: <Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei) HUAWEI> at usbus7, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0200 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
  idVendor = 0x12d1 
  idProduct = 0x14c9 
  bcdDevice = 0x0102 
  iManufacturer = 0x0003  <HUAWEI>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <Vodafone Mobile Broadband (Huawei)>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 

# file /dev/usb/7.2*

/dev/usb/7.2.9:  character special

After that I did dmesg, but I see the device to be detected as a umass storage.

Code:
# dmesg | tail
umass0:  SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000
umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0

I found out that under linux the "usbserial" module is unloaded then loaded using:

[cmd=]# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x14c9[/cmd]

But I don't know how to do that under FreeBSD.

I have no clue what to do, and any help is very much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Ahmed
