I found out that the device doesn't act as a serial port but an ethernet
card:

bInterfaceClass is 2 (UICLASS_CDC)
bInterfaceSubClass is 14 (undefined in usb.h)

Reading up on various other forums, they talk about using it as an
Ethernet device:
"and shows up as a USB ethernet device after modeswitching"

According to the spec from Vodafone, this is a HiSilicon Balong 520 chipset.

I think I'm stuck here...
Unless somebody has a good idea where to go next?
I'm open to experiment for the next 25 days :-)
