rndis_host: support Novatel Verizon USB730L
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
