Please try and find what the AT command string for disabling the virtual
cd-rom/storage is. I believe after that you'll probably get your 'modem' -
ugenX.Y
I've used AT^U2DIAG=0 on an Huawei E1820 to achieve that and get the modem
to work. You may want to try that, but if it fails, Google is your friend.

Huawei E1820 (I have tested this and worked with PC-BSD). It's a bit more
costly though, costing like KES 9,999
Huawei E160 costs KES 2,000 and I have a feeling it will work. I'll try it
today at some point and let you know. It can save you some few thousands
KES.
