What's the right place to add USB IDs to a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() to
autload usbserial for CDMA and GSM modems that appear on the USB bus,
and that work with

  modprobe usbserial vendor=0x.... device=0x....

I'd like to add at least (snagged from hal-info)

413c:8114 Dell 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card == Novatel Expedite 
EV620 CDMA/EV-DO, 
413c:8117 Dell 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO ExpressCard == Novatel Merlin 
XV620 CDMA/EV-DO,
413c:8128 Dell 5700 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card == Novatel Expedite 
E720 CDMA/EV-DO,
413c:8133 Dell 5720 Mobile Broadband CDMA/EVDO Mini-Card == Novatel Expedite 
E725 CDMA/EV-DO

and several GSM cards:
413c:8115
413c:8116
413c:8118
413c:8137

With latest NetworkManager, hal, and a patch to hal-info to include
413c:8133, these should all work (and I have an 8133 card and know it
works).

There are instructions on various blogs, such as
http://www.savvyadmin.com/2007/06/03/ubuntu-dell-5700-evdo/
that suggest the right solution is to use an 'options usbserial
vendor=... device=...' line in modprobe.conf, and a script to modprobe
usbserial, but I'd really like to see proper autoloading.

Thanks,
Matt
