Ah, excellent.

I assume you use the "disable_net" module parameter for hso.ko to
disable the net device?  You likely don't want to do that :)  If you
disable the net device and rely on PPP, you're severely limiting the
throughput as PPP overhead does not allow reaching HSPA data rates.  The
GTM601 can only do HSPA 14.4 though, so it's not a huge problem, but if
you ever want to use a faster module (HSPA+ 21 or 42 or LTE) you
definitely want to ditch PPP.

(PPP is only used between the modem and the host; it's not used over the
air... so it's just overhead and another point of failure.  The
netdevice and the custom Option AT commands for IP details are simpler
and faster.)

I added them to the driver manually so I could ensure that the fix I
posted was working.  I noticed similar messages in the logs you
originally posted debugging the problem, so I assumed you had some
custom logging of your own.

Ah fun.  Which would explain why I never saw the RING message myself,
since I was using the Modem port for AT communication and calling the
SIM from another phone.

If you can can test this patch out and confirm/deny that it corrects the
problem for you, then I'll post an official version of it.
