usb-modeswitch-data binds the wrong driver to certain ZTE WWAN sticks

[Andrew Bird]

The USB WWAN sticks (K3770-Z, K3772-Z, K3805-Z, K3806-Z and K4510-Z) require the cdc-acm and cdc-ether drivers. Presently the usb-modeswitch-data speculatively binds the Option serial driver to all(depending upon load order) interfaces on these devices which prevents correct operation of the sticks. I've attached a patch that corrects this on Oneiric.
