Subject: ipheth problem in 2.6.36 and 2.6.37

Hi,

It looks for me that there is something wrong with ipheth
driver. In 2.6.35 it worked fine. However it doesn't work after
upgrade to 2.6.36 or 2.6.37:

Driver detects the iPhone and attaches it as eth interface:

I'm sure that device pairing goes well -- bringing eth interface
"up" activates Internet modem mode on the phone. However it's not
possible to get an IP address for the interface. It's supposed to
be assigned by DHCP, but requests time out.
