Huawei E173 modem doesn't work on FreeBSD 9

[Arif Budiman]

Hi Folks,
I'm failed to access E173 modem on FreeBSD 9.0 using serial port. Yes, I
got information from the web that this device is not supported yet by the
default driver, and the u3g driver need to be updated. (
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/usb-159919-Patch-for-HUAWEI-E173-u3g-umodem-td4716191.html).
I already follow
all the instruction but unfortunately still failed.
Till now i'm stuck with this device. I turn to Ubuntu server, the modem
works well there.

Bellow is output of usbconfig:
