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]
* There is no gateway information in Network Manager. (See the picture in comment #74)
* 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.
* We need to see the gateway information in Network Manager to cover all ISPs.
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!
