Bug Description
ZTE usb modem MF626 does not work fine every time. In the network applet appears twice and the lower one is the one that connects. After plugging in, the Mobile Broadband wizard appears twice. i send screenshot. This modem has a slot for micro SD card that i have filled with a 2 GB one. Sometimes when plugging in, the 2GB card mounts itself but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes only one connection appears as expected
In addition to this, i figured out that when i have the USB mouse plugged and try to plug the ZTE modem, it can't connect to internet, and network manager does strange thing... like trying to connect after pull out the modem... it keeps trying to connect and you can see the animation of the network applet. If i work with the touchpad and no usb modem plugged, the modem connects fine.

Confirming that two entries appear with ZTE MF637, using both nm-applet and plasma- widget- network- manager. ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------
nm-tool shows:
===========
- Device: ttyUSB1 -------
Type: Mobile Broadband (GSM)
Driver: option
State: disconnected
Default: no
Capabilities:
- Device: ttyUSB2 [Orange] ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ---
Type: Mobile Broadband (GSM)
Driver: option
State: connected
Default: yes
Capabilities:
===========
ttyUSB1 should not be there. When NM detects the modem, it says:
===
<info> (ttyUSB0): ignoring due to lack of mobile broadband capabilties
===
It should also ignore ttyUSB1, because only ttyUSB2 (the last one) has broadband capabilities.
