Hi, I have done some study on the firmware.  The image file come from
the installed directory of VMAX[1] wimax connection manager for Windows.
The usb dongle is made by TECOM[2], model name is WM5123-2G5. The driver
is stored in the usb dongle, as ZeroCD / "flip flop" (multiple device)
USB gear.

In Neil's mail, you can see it contains a linux kernel image. And it's
also contains a root filesystem formated as cramfs. The root filesystem
use busybox, and their own property binary for  OMA-DM or so. Enclosed
you can find the details of the finding.
