Those modern 3G devices present themselves as CD-ROM devices when you
insert them. Very useful when using Windows, so you can install the
drivers before using the device. However, FreeBSD doesn't need the
virtual CD, so it has to skip to the point where the device is attached
as a USB modem. So Andrew likes to know which cards stay in the virtual
CD mode.
