What are the USB vendor and device IDs for your device?  The alcatel
devices are "tagged" with the appropriate ports, and we have to extract
those from the Windows driver .INF files to be sure, though your
assertion of port ordering could be used until we have that
confirmation.  See here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/tree/plugins/77-mm-x22x-port-types.rules

for the most current list of devices with port type tags.  Is your
device listed there?  Given that each device exposes quite a few
different ports, I think we'd really want to get the Windows install
file from the fake driver CD of the device before it's mode-switched to
ensure that we get the right port tags.
