 Just came across this PR.
 
 This card is currently unsupported. Unfortunately the initial PR
 message is incorrect about the device name. AFAIK there should be no
 HSDPA-capable 'GT Fusion' card on the market. Those HSDPA capable
 cards are named 3G+, 3G Max or Fusion Max and so on.
 
 Those cards, whose serial number (see back of the card) starts with
 'NZ', don't provide anything similar to the 'old' GT cards. There has
 been a redesign of the card interface and a completely new driver is
 needed. ubsa and friends won't help a single bit. No BSD licensed code
 is currently available for these cards.
 
 If this problem is still valid, please contact me as I do have code
 available for testing (unfortunately can't be included into FreeBSD as
 of licensing incompatibilities).
