I found the following in syslog as per your instructions:

[15175.872091] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
16
[15176.035511] scsi25 : usb-storage 5-1:1.0
[15177.037256] scsi 25:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage
2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[15177.067194] sr1: scsi-1 drive
[15177.067520] sr 25:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1
[15177.067707] sr 25:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5

But I can't find any var/log/usb_modeswitch* file. I already changed the
"enable log" value to 1 in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
