Public bug reported:

This D02HW is a Chinese-made USB device, but will not connect through
NetworkManager. I've been told that eMobile has configured their network
in such a way that this problem affects many of the other devices they
supply for use with their wireless network. (The eMobile support people
are not very competent or even interested in providing support, so based
on prior experiences, I never asked them about it and recommend against
wasting your time in the attempt. Heck, I'm planning to cancel my
eMobile contract as soon as the penalty clause expires next year.)

The device does work with pon, as documented in various places, but to
make it work with NetworkManager required a few changes in the
10-modem.fdi file. Basically I added this line:

<append key="modem.command_sets" type="strlist">IS-707-A</append>

That was right after the ID for the device:
<match key="@info.parent:usb.product_id" int="0x1003">
<match key="@info.parent:usb.interface.number" int="0">

There were two other command_sets lines there, and I commented them out
when it didn't work on the first attempts. However, the Japanese webpage
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/munetoh/20081121 where I got this fix doesn't seem
to say anything about needing to comment out those command_sets (but I
don't read Japanese all that well). (Thanks and a tip of the hat to
Munetoh-san.)
