Which kernel version specifically?

Probably.

Well, it might, as it turns out that this really is not a sierra
wireless based device, it's something else.

So try changing drivers and see if that gets better.

        make M=drivers/usb/serial/
will build only that one directory.

Or:
        make drivers/usb/serial/option.ko
should build only that module.

You might have to do a 'make oldconfig' and 'make prepare' first though.

Hope this helps,
