I have run into an issue which seems to call into question the udev
paradigm for USB devices.

It's not a fatal flaw it's broken hardware (and autodetection broken by
device manufacturers not bothering to replace OEM id with their own is
nothing new or USB-specific)

It's also an issue that the NetworkManager/ModemManager developers are well aware of - a recent thread on the subject starts here:


https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-October/msg00037.html

with details of how ModemManager deals with the problem here:


https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager-list/2013-October/msg00046.html

so in short this device should be added to the greylist if it isn't there already, and then it will only be probed when such a probe is explicitly requested.

Note that F19 is using MM 0.6 so doesn't have the greylist.
