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

[David Fraser]

@madbiologist: Brilliant, thanks for pointing me to the other bug. I've delinked this from the E220 upstream bug and added a comment to the description saying this bug does not apply to E220.
And yes, it was exactly the same modem (but I'll address that in the other bug)

** Bug watch removed: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #14499
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14499

** 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:

+ NB: Remaining bug with Huawei E220/E270 is bug #449394, not this bug
