sorry for the delay, I'm using latest qmicli in master:

danielepa@...ielepa-OptiPlex-780:~/development/git/libqmi$ src/qmicli/qmicli -V

qmicli 1.19.0

and I was able to reproduce the issue simply asking for something like
the manufacturer with qmicli.

But I'm currently retrying it and it has become even worse (do not ask
me why...): qmicli returns a transaction timed out error and got
stuck. Only when detaching the USB cable qmicli exits.

danielepa@...ielepa-OptiPlex-780:~/development/git/libqmi$ sudo
src/qmicli/qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-get-manufacturer
[21 apr 2017, 12:15:33] -Warning ** [/dev/cdc-wdm0] requested auto
mode but no MBIM QMUX support available
error: couldn't create client for the 'dms' service: CID allocation
failed in the CTL client: Transaction timed out

I'm not sure I'm seeing here only problems related to your commit, but
reverting the commit makes things to work again.

The modem is a Telit LE920A4. I will try to collect more debug info.

Thanks,
Daniele
