I don't see any SRU information regarding how to test the network-
manager change use-the-gateway-from-ModemManager.patch. Could this
please be added to the description so that we can accept network-manager
into -proposed? Thanks!

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * The users can not use the WWAN of Sierra DW5809e (EM7305) or Sierra
  DW5811e (EM7455) to connect to Internet.

  [Test Case]

   * Insert the WWAN of Sierra DW5809e (EM7305) or Sierra DW5811e
  (EM7455).

   * Insert the SIM, boot the Ubuntu system, and connect to Internet by
  NetworkManager.

  [Regression Potential]

   * No trivial regression so far.

  [Other Info]
   
   * None

  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!
