Well, *hrmm*, given Lenovos track record with superfish etc, I threw the
pre-installed Windows out first thing I did :)
I'm really not an expert on this USB stuff, but I have tried to connect
the modem to a Windows installation in Virtualbox, but the Lenovo
drivers seems to expect an interface with InterfaceNumber 03, while the
modem reports interface numbers 12 and 13...
