That's what I was afraid of...

In fact, it does not. The idProduct text is from usb.ids file (which is often 
incorrect). The device says that it's "USB NET CARD" (iProduct). But I don't 
know if Linux can match drivers by iProduct string.

Thanks, I'll try that, although I doubt that it will help.

Maybe ignoring the device if class is 255 and iProduct is "USB NET CARD" (or 
does not contain "MODEM"?).

This is from usb.ids            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
