Blacklisting a module for specific hardware


I'm using a Huawei 3g usb modem for internet which does work on suse 10.3. However immediately after plugging in the modem the module option and usb-storage are automatically loaded ( as the kernel seems to treat the device as a usb flash drive). This prevents automatic loading of usbserial. I then have to force remove option and usb-storage and then reinsert the usbserial.
How can I make sure that (using the vendor and product id) I can blacklist usb-storage specifically for this modem. I still want to be able to use usb flash drives.
Thanks

thanks peacedog

I have seen the page. the only problem being a way of stopping usb-storage from loading itself at all for this particular piece of hardware. Not sure how?
