It has been added to "usb-modeswitch-data-20120531", released on May 31st.
This version is in Debian "wheezy (testing)".
The current version is 20120815, which is in Debian "sid (unstable)".
This is the content of the respective config file ("12d1:14b5"):
----------------------------------
# Huawei E173 (Viettel 3G)
TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProductList="14a8,14aa"
MessageContent="55534243123456780000000000000011062000000100000000000000000000"
----------------------------------
Note that "12d1:14a8" is the *modem* mode which does not need switching.
There is a hint in the syslog of post #5:
Jul 29 14:10:23 bertha usb_modeswitch: switching device 12d1:14b5 on 001/009
...
Jul 29 14:10:28 bertha usb_modeswitch: switched to 12d1:14a8 on 001/009
If the target ID is not contained in the config file, the ad-hoc binding to the
"option" driver will fail. This is relevant if the "option" driver doesn't have
the ID in its code yet.

Title:
Can't connect with Huawei E173Eu-1 [12d1:14a8] (Natcom Haiti)
Status in Usb Modeswitch Data:
New
Status in “modemmanager” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “usb-modeswitch-data” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When connecting this key in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it's not available in
Network Manager.
This is from the Natcom Haiti provider. lsusb reports it as:
Bus 001 Device 017: ID 12d1:14a8 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
A sticker under the key identifies it as E173Eu-1.
I added the following lines to
/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:
# Natcom Haiti (Huawei) E173Eu-1
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="14a8", RUN+="usb_modeswitch
'%b/%k'"
I also found guides indicating how to complete a workaround for this,
but I lack the time to pursue this further.
