Some ISPs like TW Mobile in Taiwan don't need the gateway to connect to Internet.
Some ISPs like Chunghwa Telecom in Taiwan do need the gateway to connect to Internet.

BTW, after I used ppa:fourdollars/modemmanager and this patch for network-manager, I can connect to Internet.
But some informations such as Hardware Address, Driver and Speed are still unavailable.

Vivid and wily don't need this patch so we can do the SRU only for
trusty.

Title:
  novatel: improve probing for Dell branded modems

Bug description:
  Dell rebrands modems from different vendors, including Novatel, Sierra
  and Ericsson. Until now we defaulted to the Novatel plugin when a Dell
  device was found, but then we're breaking newer MBIM Sierra Dell-
  branded modems, as we don't have MBIM support in the Novatel plugin.

  So, we should try to improve the probing in the Novatel, Sierra and
  MBM plugins, so that they probe also Dell devices, and we'll then try
  to match via AT-probing which plugin should be handling the Dell
  device.

  Could we backport this patch  into trusty? Thanks!
