Is this a device designed to operate as a NATing router, or is it just a
"regular" modem? 

The MF60 I've still got (luckily the owner seems to have forgotten about
it :) is also crashing really bad on any QMI WDS command, making it
completely useless with QMI.  But this device is a wifi-3G router which
it obviously runs some QMI proxy daemon, forwarding most commands but
intercepting WDS.  And the ZTE WDS implementation sucks bigtime even for
a modem firmware.

But I was hoping we could detect and avoid the troublesome devices using
"safe" commands, without making all other devices suffer.  As I said,
the MF821D works really fine with QMI.
