Bug Description

If I plug my modem on a USB 3 instead of a USB 2 it fails to do the switch.

It will work fine if I:
  1 - extract /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/configPack.tar.gz from usb-modeswitch-data to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/
  2 - run the command:
           sudo usb_modeswitch -v 19d2 -p 2000 -s 10 -I -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2\:2000

(btw: why are these configs tared in -data?!?)

If I plug directly on a USB 2 udev works out of the box.

12.10 64bits - 3.5.0-21-generic
On a Dell XPS L502X.

lspci -vv attached, more info below.
