I also created directory /etc/usb_modeswitch.d
containing file 067b\:2303 which has

DefaultVendor= 0x067b
DefaultProduct=0x2303

I took a cue from http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1814583.html and http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11509.msg61207/topicseen.html#msg61207 as mentioned at http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=15393.0
Still that is about usb modem.

Please suggest.
Also ran 'sudo udevadm control --reload-rules' before that.
here is dmesg log when converter was inserted & ejected multiple times
