In /lib/udev/rules.d/77-nm-probe-modem-capabilities.rules, change the
lines near the bottom to:

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="?*", IMPORT{program}="nm-modem-probe --vid 0x$attr{idVendor} --pid 0x$attr{idProduct} --usb-interface $env{NM_MODEM_USB_INTERFACE_NUMBER} --driver $env{NM_MODEM_DRIVER} --delay 5000 --timeout 8000 --export --verbose --log /tmp/probe.log $tempnode", GOTO="nm_modem_probe_end"
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="?*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="?*", IMPORT{program}="nm-modem-probe --vid 0x$attr{idVendor} --pid 0x$attr{idProduct} --usb-interface $env{NM_MODEM_USB_INTERFACE_NUMBER} --driver $env{NM_MODEM_DRIVER} --delay 1000 --timeout 5000 --export --verbose --log /tmp/probe.log $tempnode", GOTO="nm_modem_probe_end"

(ie, add the "--verbose --log /tmp/probe.log" right before $tempnode)

And then unplug and replug the device.  Then reply with the contents
of /tmp/probe.log so we can figure out why the modem fails the probe.
