usb_modeswitch package

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a Huawei 4G/LTE modem as a fallback WAN interface w/ my OpnSense router.
It seems it requires to use the
usb_modeswitch
tool to enable the modem interface.
I read from here:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=or3em205tfimrihiklo1rjora0&topic=6771.msg29415#msg29415
that Franco is the maintainer of this package for FreeBSD, so ... is this tool/package available for OpnSense somehow? - or am I looking at the wrong direction to get this device work?
Thanks!

Me stupid: it is as simple as
pkg install usb_modeswitch
from a remote shell...

/usr/local/sbin/usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0x12d1 --default-product 0x1f01 -J
seems to properly switch the device into CDC Ethernet, but the kernel does no detect it as a valid CDC Ethernet device, although
if_cdce
is loaded, and USB configuration #1 is set.
Does this mean this device is not supported on OpnSense?
