Here are some other news: I changed the 3G module for my testings to an Option GTM382E. This uses the hso.ko driver instead of the sierra.ko driver before. Interestingly, with this module/driver it seems that periodic scheduling isn't used at all ( I can't see a "Periodic" status flag at any time). Is this tuneable in the driver (sierra/hso)? The application (my test script) is absolutely the same. So, this module/driver combination runs quite longer, but sometime, it stops operating too. And if it does, I can see that the "Async" flag doesn't get cleared any more: IAA watchdog: status 8008 cmd 10069 Additionally, I observed that when the modems stops operating normally, there are no "irq status ..." messages any more and the irq counters in the registers file also stops increasing. It seems that there are no more IRQs at all from the controller. - Martin TDT GmbH - Siemensstrasse 18 - Gewerbegebiet Altheim - 84051 Essenbach - Germany Geschäftsführer: Elisabeth Pickhardt, Michael Pickhardt Registergericht Landshut, HRB 1193 This e-mail (including any attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.
