Description Aleksander Morgado 2013-06-10 18:27:52 UTC 
When MM detects a device in the 'pci' subsystem, it should:
 * check whether the device is in a special new whitelist of devices to always accept (e.g. Nozomi Cardbus devices)
 * check whether the device uses a serial kernel driver, and if so, treat it as if it was in the serial-adapters greylist (e.g. only probe during manual Scan()).
 * otherwise, skip the device all together.
Comment 1 Dan Williams 2013-06-17 16:27:49 UTC 
Seems reasonable.  Nozomi is the only PCI device I know of that's only a WWAN modem (as opposed to a generic serial adapter), and it's likely that any others are going to be very, very old, so a whitelist for these is quite sensible.

Moving bugreport to the new ModemManager bugzilla in fd.o; summarized the issue
there as well. Please subscribe to the new bugreport to get new updates.
