Bug Description

On LTS releases, the 3G information database should be kept up to date for recent devices to work.

For example, I recently found out that the Huawei K3772 device did not work out of the box because usbmodeswitch wouldn't switch it to the right mode. The usb-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch-data pacakges were up to date.

For this device the system could be fixed by creating a file called:

/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1526

containing

----------------

TargetVendor= 0x12d1
TargetProduct= 0x14cf

MessageContent="555342437f0000000002000080000a11062000000000000100000000000000"

--------------

plus adding to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules the following lines:

# Huawei K3772
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1526", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"

Since reporting one bug per device that doesn't work is too much overhead, can we have a meta bug just for this and let the users contribute their product IDs to guide the updating of the pacakge?
