Hi Greg!

Sorry slipt on the keyboard.

Not marketing, you still must use AT commands set up the device.
* If named usbX NetworkManager will think it is a ethernet device not issuing AT commands.
* If set to a other name NetworkManager can differentiate it and issue AT commands.

I have tried to use usbX and it does not work good, renaming it with a udev rule will not work always.
So the best way is to have a new name.

I think I did? Resubmitting it. With the commemets from Oliver.
