As I warned about in http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg223742.html I am now going to reconsider what do do about this issue. There are only two devices in the exception list so far, but I would like to note that this represents 100% of the Sierra Wireless MBIM devices we *know* are tested with this driver. Testing for this firmware bug and verifying the workaround on a new device is currently hard, requiring more skills than most end users can be expected to have. I therefore find it very likely that we will miss (or quite possible have missed already) a number of devices which should have been in this exception list. I believe we have to do something about this. Ideas are welcome.
