Looks good.  Makes the MF60 work as expected, as long as I stay away
from QMI_WDS.  And no QMI_DMS commands seem not crash the firmware, even
the unsupported ones.

I wonder if this helps with Dan's Novatel USB551L as well?  I've now
looked through the Windows snoop a couple of times, and it does *not*
contain any QMI_WDS connect commands. The only QMI_WDS commands there
are two "set family", one for IPv4 and one for IPv6.  And it does have a
"set instance id" before issues these.

Maybe the Novatel firmware also prefers to manage connections, need "set
instance id", and refuse most QMI_WDS commands?
