Re: Is this 32-bit NCM?

To be clearer - then you fixed cdc_ncm magistrally I remember, adding also 
sysfs attrs then.
But I was curious - so that we might understand if Thomas's problem was related 
to the firmware or what else.

==If you use a recent version of the driver as a basis, then you get the

==/sys/class/net/wwan0/cdc_ncm/bmNtbFormatsSupported:0x0001
