Hi Richard, > I added support for the Sierra Wireless MC8355, but my "problem" is > that there are several (tiny) patches which work.

Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none) I: If#= 3 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none) for all intense an purposes this is a true Gobi card (not like the Option HSO models) and it should be driven by the qcserial driver. The only real difference is that the Gobi 3000 based cards seem to ship with firmware pre-loaded so that the firmware loader setting is not present.
