The purpose of the blacklist is to include there only devices that
expose TTYs and are not modems.

 * Does the Ethernet adapter expose a TTY? If not, then it doesn't
need to be in the blacklist (MM does not probe anything in those).

 * The 56K USB modem.... yeah, it isn't a mobile broadband modem, but
there's really no reason why ModemManager shouldn't handle those as
well. Anyone up for a generic 56k plugin?
