Re: 3G Modem DHCP time out

[Emmanuel Riboulet-Deyris <erd lastree net>]

Thank's a lot Bjørn for pointing me this bug report. It appears that
it's exactly the bug I'm encountering (on the same laptop by the way).

I'm very far away from being an expert about that, but if I understand,
the simplest way to make thinks work currently with a 3.8.x kernel would
be to rebuild my kernel with the key CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM set to "n".
Is that correct ?

Thanks again,

E.
