I got something wrong.

It is all done by usbconfig

usbconfig without any parameters gives you a list of devices. One entry
should look like this:

ugen0.4: <Huawei CDMA Technologies MSM Huawei, Incorporated> at usbus0,
cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON

You enter then

usbconfig -u 0 -a 4 dump_device_desc

and you should get something like this:

ugen0.4: <Huawei CDMA Technologies MSM Huawei, Incorporated> at usbus0,
cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0200 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
  idVendor = 0x12d1 
  idProduct = 0x1803 
  bcdDevice = 0x0000 
  iManufacturer = 0x0003  <Huawei, Incorporated>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <Huawei CDMA Technologies MSM>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 

You try to find a solution from the other side of the rope. I think we
better start here first.
