Bug Description
If a 3G modem appears as a USB device, the networking detect script may falsely fail because network manager may not know about it... See this output:

ERROR: Ethernet devices missing: udev showed 2 devices, but NetworkManager saw 1 devices
It appears that udev's "NETWORK" category is the same as the "Ethernet" category for NM, however, NM is not showing the 3G modem. This causes a count mismatch and forces the test to fail.
This will cause several other networking related tests to be skipped, because they depend on this test to pass:

As some wwan devices appear as USB devices, the udev parser can't set a different category, e.g MODEM. So they'll stay identified as just NETWORK devices.
NM reports Modem devices but the network_device_info script omitted such devices so far.
The fix will be to properly map NM modem devices to the udev NETWORK category
