This is caused by missing bits in the hal-info package.  Could you send
the output of 'lshal' to me and I'll extract the necessary bits?
Technically only the device with "usb.interface.number = 0" should be
used by NetworkManager, but we have to go through each device that shows
up like this and fix it.
