Alternatively, we could use the HAL information in addition to the udev information. Given a udev probe of the ports, get the HAL info as well. If HAL thinks the port is GSM/CDMA-capable, use it. If HAL doesn't know about any ports for the device, just pick a port to use like the udev stuff does now. Or we could start putting port-types into the udev rules just like we've done for HAL.
