Hello, I had occassional oopses with 2.6.31.1 and earlier but 2.6.31.2 made things much worse. I got an oops each time (well twice.. I am not so brave) I used the device and both made the computer completely unresponsive. Going back to 2.6.31.1 made the device useable again. Rerpoducing it is very easy: plugin a ZTE K3565Z GSM/UMTS modem, start minicom on /dev/ttyUSB1 and exit minicom.
