No reply from the original contributor, but I finally found this usb_modeswitch output via Google, after several fruitless attempts:

Received inquiry data (detailed identification)

  Vendor String: SAMSUNG

Device description data (identification)

The page is here, see post #14:

I consider this information correct; this enables us to identify the modem apart from the phones.
I think I can assume that the USB ID strings are not specific to the modem, so the SCSI strings need to be used.

The file "/usr/share/usb_modeswitch/04e8:f000" has to be renamed to
"/usr/share/usb_modeswitch/04e8:f000:sMo=U209". This should do the trick and leave other Samsung devices alone.

Can anyone test that fix?

Thanks!
