Novatel (0x1410) makes an MC760 (0x6002) used by
Virgin Mobile in their BroadBand2Go card.
This card advertises itself as "incompatible" with
"linux" at this time.
After adding the device to usbdevs, rebuilding
usbdevs.h and usbdevs_data.h, and adding to
umsm.c it was finally recognized and mounted
as such:
(FYI, this part of the dmesg is the same regardless
of addition to usbdevs. See further dmesg after
performing 'eject cd1' for the successful output
after adding to sys/dev/usb files.)

This device mounts a CD image when inserted.
After ejecting with 'eject cd1' I get the following:

Still, I have no success yet in initiating ppp.
I consider this as my own error, and suspect
the device will operate as expected. My
ppp script skills have diminished since the
advent of DSL.

When negotiating manually (at the ppp prompt with 'term')
I get as far as the "AT&F" sequence. Any command after
that produces ERROR.
Here's some usbdevs info:
port 2 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Hub(0x0606),
Genesys Logic(0x05e3), rev 7.02
port 1 addr 3: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, Novatel Wireless
CDMA(0x6002), Novatel Wireless Inc.(0x1410), rev 0.00, iSerialNumber
091116569131000
Note, the above usbdevs shows the device attached to
an external hub. This was ONLY done for obtaining this
output. During testing the device was inserted into
a built-in usb port, and typically mounted on /dev/usb4
