Yes, it does. So I added the device id for cd-rom, SIERRA, TRUINSTALL
(already in usbdevs).

static const STRUCT_USB_HOST_ID usie_devs[] = {
#define USIE_DEV(v, d) {                                \
    USB_VP(USB_VENDOR_##v, USB_PRODUCT_##v##_##d) }
        USIE_DEV(SIERRA, MC8700),
        USIE_DEV(AIRPRIME, USB308),
+        USIE_DEV(SIERRA, TRUINSTALL),
#undef  USIE_DEV
};

Now it works even if the modem is plugged in before loading the
driver. The device id 0x0fff is for cd-rom, but sierra didn't specify
the vendor id. So, there might be (AIRPRIME, TRUINSTALL).

With your "uint8_t pad" fix, the driver works fine.

Thanks

Here is a patch.
