the modem you have (vendor id 0x1003) should be an E220 HSDPA modem.
exactly the same device i tried to "run" last week on freebsd, where
i got the same trouble as you.

the problem is, that the device when plugged in, initially reports
itself as a mass-storage device which will cause a cd-rom to be
found.

as far as i could figure out in tests (and some others pointed me in
the right direction of course), the device needs some proper "message"
to be transferred to switch from mass-storage mode into the modem mode.

currently, there is a thread on the freebsd lists with the subject
"huawei e220 hsdpa on freebsd 6.3-BETA2" regarding this.
have a look on it, it'll help you out maybe...

i'm currently testing the c-code which is provided there (i'm not
a guru) but the first one does not look that bad (there are some
errors and problems which i do not really have the time right now
to look into).

sorry, can't tell anything better right now on this,
cheers ;)
