[Bug 446146] Re: Several Huawei USB dongle don't work with kernel 2.6.31-12.40 (2.6.31.1 update related)

[Stefan Bader]

** Description changed:

+ SRU Justification:
+ 
+ Impact: The Huawei modem (with a certain firmware it seems) claims to
+ support a certain sense data format, but does not do so.
+ 
+ Fix: Change to USB storage, which lets the device fallback to a shorter
+ sense format. This patch went into 2.6.31.5 ("usb-storage: Workaround
+ devices with bogus sense size").

  I'm using a Huawei E169 USB dongle to connect to a GSM mobile broadband
  network. It used to work out-of-the-box with Jaunty and previous
  versions of Karmic (kernel 2.6.31-11 and previous). However the device
  doesn't work any more with the latest kernel.
  
  Dmesg gives me repatedly this message:
  
  dmesg:
  option: option_instat_callback: error -108
  
  lsusb:
  Bus 005 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem
  
- 
  My system: Dell XPS M1530, see attached result of "lshw"
  
  This bug apparently affects other people as well:
