here's the modem part:
  port 1 powered
  port 2 addr 3: full speed, power 500 mA, config 1, Novatel Wireless
HSDPA Modem(0x8116), Novatel Wireless(0x413c), rev 0.00

in sys/dev/usb/usbdevs, there already is a NOVATEL definition:
vendor NOVATEL          0x09d7  NovAtel

but I also found:
vendor DELL             0x413c  Dell

So... should I had "0x8116" in the DELL devices list should I add
another entry for "0x413c" and add the "0x8116" entry in it's device
section ?

TIA,
