Doesn't work

Inserting after boot with bootverbose enabled I get

Jan 11 14:11:17 micro2 kernel: usb_alloc_device: Found possible auto-install disk (trying next config)
Jan 11 14:11:17 micro2 kernel: ugen1.2: <ZTE,Incorporated> at usbus1
Jan 11 14:11:17 micro2 kernel: Ejecting ZTE,Incorporated ZTE Mobile Broadband Station using method 3

Nothing shows up in "camcontrol devlist" and nothing in ifconfig

While config index 0 may be the default, setting that quirk has the added
advantage of disabling the

"Found possible auto-install disk (trying next config)"

code, so that it is the first device (the CD) that is ejected.  That seems
to trigger the switch into RNDIS mode.

Messages from insertion after boot with bootverbose enabled:

Or maybe there is another way of doing it but I haven't played with the
huge number of combinations of the quirks to see if some other
combo work.

I think config index 1 is a micro-SD card reader, which would explain why
eject on it does nothing useful.

I don't have any other 3g USB sticks so I don't know how other devices
are set up and why the skipping of the config index works for them, but
for this device it appears to be the wrong thing to do.
