Novatel Merlin u730 HSPDA Card in Linux

Decided to try and get a friend’s u730 cellular data card working in Pyramid Linux last night. I thought it would pretty trivial since the card appears to use the same chipset as other EVDO/HSPDA cards already supported in the airprime module. But it turns out the device/vendor id combo is not in airprime. This simple patch should fix it for you.

This patch adds vendor/device id combination for the Novatel Merlin u730 hspda
card. Tested with a cingluar branded card.
