I don't have yet the device, but the informations I have so far are :
 - It is Vendor ID 0x1410, product ID 0x5023 when connected for the first
   time, and then it is a disk device.
 - Ejecting it makes it appear as Vendor ID 0x1410, product ID 0x7030

Novatel also refers to their procedure for the linux installation :
(http://www.nvtl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=139&Itemid=305
which has a link to 
http://www.nvtl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=176&Itemid=331)

This applies to Ovation MC930D and Ovation MC950D, which are supported by
option.c

So, I suspect the best would be to add the 0x7030 Product ID in the option
driver, and git it a shoot...

Paul
