Huawei E169 USB 3G Modem not detected as modem in 7.2

[Gianni]

I've seen a few posts related to the Huawei E169 3G modem which have  
reported this device as working under 7.2. I have the u3g driver  
loaded but the modem is only recognised as umass, I tried disabling  
umass and the device came up as ugen.
My 7.2-STABLE is newly built today, log messages below, should this  
modem work out of the box or is there some extra configuration needed?
Any suggestion much appreciated.
