Thanks for testing Daniele.
I can add an error message there when pass through mode setting fails.
Will you be submitting the patch for iproute2. Otherwise, I can do so
a bit later.

Hi Bjørn

Yes, I will switch to using dev->net.
There doesnt seem to be a net device notifier event when the rx 
registration
happens.

If the dev type is ethernet, rmnet driver will try to remove the first 
14
bytes since it assumes an ethernet header is present in the packet. 
Hence the
need for raw ip mode in qmi_wwan.
