I've updated this email to hopefully better conform to the patch
submission guidelines.
I've also updated the patch to call this the MC760 instead of the U760,
as MC760 is what's actually printed on my device (as the last portion of
the FCC ID and IC lines). It also has USB760 printed on the barcode.
Google searches yield the U760 form of the name as well. Therefore, I
left the comment listing all three of them.

To be clear, this device appears as *two* USB storage devices. One is
potentially useful to a Linux user, as it corresponds to a microSD slot.
The other, which needs to be ejected to make the modem appear, contains
the Windows drivers and is read-only. This one is never useful to a
Linux user, which is why I want to simply suppress it automatically.
Is this why you put finished in quotes? I simply want to be sure what
the right solution is before I proceed.
Thanks,
Richard
