Trying to write a udev rule to simply ignore the onboard Intel Wireless 7265 (Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265)

On boot, modemmanager hangs the boot process with this informative message:

Couldn't check support for device  '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:02:00.0' not supported by any plugin

Info:

I've tried writing a (few different) rules for udev rather unsuccessfully:

KERNELS=="0000:02:00.0", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"

The rule is read but apparently incorrect as the boot still hangs 

    udevadm test /sys/class/net/wlp2s0 /snip/ created db file
     '/run/udev/data/n2' for
     '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.2/0000:02:00.0/net/wlp2s0' ACTION=add

This has been solved by Aleksander himself. :) A summary from the mailing list:

Aleksander:

That is just an informative message. MM is not touching that interface for anything, it's just saying it cannot be used as part of a modem, as there is no control port. No udev rule to ignore the device will be hit, because MM is not even trying to use the device. That is definitely nothing to worry about.

Is MM really hanging the boot process? What exactly are you seeing? Any actual logs you can share?

At one time, it did appear to be MM hanging the boot process because once MM was removed, the boot hang was also removed. Now, it seems MM is not the culprit!*
Now, I only wonder, is it necessary that MM provide the informative message at all?

I think that message is not debug, and I agree that it may be a bit confusing to see it :D I'll see what I can do to silence those.
