[Bug 1441095] Re: novatel: improve probing for Dell branded modems
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.

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!
