I don't have a strong opinion either, but my first thought is to
blacklist devices that don't work.  Do we have any idea whether these
devices are older, or just plain dumb?  eg, could we automatically skip
QMI in the ZTE plugin if the NAS version is < 1.2 or something like
that?  Or are these devices newer, but braindead?
