The MC7710 I've got has (at least) two very different modes, where only one of them provides a USB interface usable with qmi_wwan. The other mode is supported by the sierra_net driver. > Because it is an built in device and it is not my own notebook, I would need a > test which is easy and fast to made.(via livecd or bootable usb-stick) Not there yet, but the best would be a tool based on libqmi-glib and libusb, allowing you to do QMI without a driver. It's fairly easy to make. Just hasn't been done yet. So that doesn't help you unless you want to write the tool yourself... > Does 'echo "xxxx yyyy" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id' or > something like that also work with qmi-wwan ? No, that won't work with any usbnet-based minidriver because the probe function needs a pointer to a minidriver struct in the "driver_info" field of the device ID entry. There is no way to provide this for dynamic device IDs created by 'echo "xxxx yyyy" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id' The dynamic IDs could have worked for cdc-wdm, which would have been sufficient to get the QMI character device, but unfortunately the cdc-wdm probe function is somewhat restrictive and will reject combined QMI/rmnet interfaces because of the extra bulk endpoints. So, no, sorry, dynamic IDs won't help. You will need to either add the new ID to the driver and see if it works (unbind the sierra serial driver from any interface with 3 endpoints first), or create the libusb based tool.
