Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next/usb-next v3 0/5] cdc-wdm/qmi_wwan: subdriver
support
Radio hardware is a gimped Huaweii E398. Gimped as in supplied by the
telco with the 2g chip missing.
These are currently /the/ device supplied by the network '3' in the UK.
And as such are fast becoming very common devices over here.
I should also mention that I've made some modifications to the device
myself. Namely updating the firmware to someting more recent then
shipped as stock, and replacing the zerocd installer volume with the
most recent generic debranded huaweii image.
I'll take the userspace discussion to the other list.
