Treat the ef/04/01 interface class/subclass/protocol combination used
by the Novatel Verizon USB730L (1410:9030) as a possible RNDIS
interface.

Once the network interface is brought up, the user just needs to run a
DHCP client to get IP address and routing setup.
As a side note, other Novatel Verizon USB730L models with the same
vid:pid end up exposing a standard ECM interface which doesn't require
any other kernel update to make it work.

Hey,
I'm not sure if binding this logic to a specific vid:pid (1410:9030) would be more appropriate here, or if it's ok to just bind class/subclass/protocol (as in the activesync case).
Let me know what you think.
