I'm also not familiar with your device, but some devices need to be
mode switched manually if they show up as something different. You can
use usb-modeswitch for that or some more convenient tool like sakis3g:

Btw: I'll report a bug in Gentoo's Bugzilla regarding your (and mine)
problem. Maybe others are affected too and this option can be switched
off at least for genkernel users.
